# Hi, I have noticed that my aloes leaves have become more horizontal…

Hi, I have noticed that my aloes leaves have become more horizontal and I guess drooping, they are just not as upright as they were before, why is this happening and is that bad? It also has some brown spots on it.

Watered recently? They may just be full of water after recently watering. Or too much water, not enough sun.

I have two similar plants that fatten/flatten out when they are full of water and stand up straighter and thinner when they’re drying out and near their next watering.

Alternatively if they have been overwatered they bloat up and just keep falling outwards.

Hold off on watering until the soil is dry and the leaves are thinner and it should be fine.
