Hey Y’all! My aloes ends are curling and a little thin. Any suggestions? I’m watering about every 20 days. Next water is the 22nd.

They need A LOT of sunlight. Mine did the same thing, so I moved it to more direct light. I had it in bright indirect light. But, try to gradually move into brighter light, because they can burn.

Okay! Thank you!

Also, Make sure they're dry when watering them. I wouldn't do it on a fixed schedule. I'd check the soil to see if it's actually dry and then water.

Oh okay. I mainly have been keeping a 20 day schedule in my calendar to make sure I’m not OVER watering. Because I have been known to do that. I never really thought about if i was under watering them. 😞

Nothing wrong with keeping track! I use this app cuz I have 78 plants, but I still double check before I water! And when it starts getting warmer I check the soil early, just to be sure it hasn't dried out. I think some ppl think cuz Google or an app says it's time to water, they just do it without checking. Then they don't know what they did wrong cuz they were technically following what they were told to do. Just like the ice cube watering thing they put on orchids. My aunt really believed she was doing everything for her plant and couldn't understand why it died. Good luck!

Wow that’s crazy awesome! I also didn’t realize depending on the seasons plants change. I mean I know about not leaving them outside it the cold. But I didn’t know how it affects way more than that. Water, Growth ect.
