Just repotted my aloe last night to add red lava rock to the mix. Same pot but completely different soil. It’s looking pretty limp… should I water it or let it sit for a week like I’ve been reading?

I would water it

I would've repotted in a different pot, it looks likes its getting big in that one. But you shouldn't do that now since its all stressed out. Leave it alone and let it recouperate.

Sounds good! I gave it a little water and just going to leave it be for like a month
