I took pups from perfectly healthy, strong, adult aloes that are now almost full grown. The pups grew straight up for a while but soon collapsed. They spread in a pretty nice circle so I never thought twice about it. I didn't realize something was "wrong". Thanks for the video

Mine gets plenty of light and I’m definitely not over watering, so I’m thinking I may be under watering and it was getting too much direct light so I’ve moved it away from the direct light, which has healed the sun burn but the leaves are still crinkly and some of them are almost completely flat

My aloe plant looks great. I haven’t seen any signs in the actual leaves but every time I water it, the soil is bone dry by the next day. I don’t want to water it again because I’m scared of overwatering. It’s in the same container/soil that I bought it in. But the soil dries up so fast. Any idea why this could be happening?
@jessicasaffron8783 ай бұрын
If I put my aloe in the sunlight she becomes dramatic and starts turning brown/red and drying out and flopping over and going soft, however after watching this I think the problem is the pot is too shallow so I will repot and see how my drama queen gets on ❤

@bubblewrappd2 жыл бұрын
Thank you!! I moved my aloe to a North facing bedroom and it's been drooping since so this video has helped me figure out the cause! ☺ I have a question - with the right treatment (ie more sun, or fixing watering or pest problems) will the droopy leaves eventually stand upright when you remove the supports?! I thought my droopy leaves were goners, so it's good to know I might save them!!! 💚
@PlantsandLucia2 жыл бұрын
Hii! This is a great question :-) This depends, I can tell you with my aloe after time and receiving the right treatment some of its leaves got better 💚 but some of them were already too droopy and I had to prune them off. You can observe your plant and see how she heals over time. I always think observation can always give us more hints on what to do 💚 Let me know how it goes :-)

@p2nd4_313 жыл бұрын
hopefully your plant aint dead yet but since your pot is small water it until you see water coming out of the base. (the moment u see the drops coming out of the hole STOP). with succulents a rule is that you water it heavy but never frequently. make sure your soil is completely dry before watering it again. if this info is wrong feel free to correct me.

@onenationundergod82 жыл бұрын
Hey great video 👍 I'm trying to find something to help my poor very light, droopy aloe because the leaves are all getting a creases in them and break off eventually after habe been leaning on the pot for an extended length of time and I just realized more are like that. I also found out that if the leaves aren't darker but rather lighter, that it means they're being over watered and that in the winter the women says she sometimes goes up to 4 weeks without watering since it colder. I'm about to transplant it into a bigger pot with succulent soil this time and will definitely be checking the roots to see if over watering it has caused any fungus and will most definitely be tying it up so I'm so glad I came across your video 😊 My leaves are all dropping at the bottom and top is leaning to one side because it keeps growing out of itself on the top going straight up so not sure if I'm supposed to be allowing that to continue or if I am supposed to be cutting them which I don't know how to do without hurting it or damaging it. It definitely is getting a lot of light but it's filtered behind a shade which is closed behind plastic that I refuse to take down because the window is so long and high. I have 4 of that size which took me 4 hours to hang 😒 However, I think I will make a slit at the top and slice it all the way down to pull the turn bar thing through and then just tape it back up like I've done in my living room for 3 windows so I can see out of them.

Great question! It depends on the issue and how we are fixing it.. In my case, I found out it was because of lack of sunlight, so it took some months for it to get better and it is finally growing healthier. But I had to make sure I provided lots of light, first with a grow light and now a bit of a combination between grow lights and natural light. Hope this helps :-)
