Hello everyone. Here is a photo of an aloe that was given to me this morning. This is a rescue plant. Its owner, sadly, did not want it. When I get it back to my house I will start working on it. Better pot, better soil and I will prune those brown edges off. It was covered in Spider-Mite Webs. I took all them off immediately. @AdonicKohleria2 @BabeVila @BuffCaperspurge @CutePolypremum @DanDenMan @DreamMachine @HFplantoasis @HolyLacealoe @HummingbirdMint @izzyandsugar @Ponytailmom @smushface #SucculentLove @Ms.Persnickety @Jadedbelle @Jujube @Preciousplants1 @princesspitstop @SillyPlantGirl @DaringColtsfoot @TopCoriander6 @MamaLinne @Ponytailmom
@Malagueña absolutely gorgeous
@Preciousplants1 thank you. It needs some work and lots of love.

Super Plant Dad to the rescue!!!! 😘
I wouldn't trim off the brown edges. That will just create open wounds where pathogens can enter. They're not hurting the plant, and those tips would simply turn brown again if you cut them off, so I'd recommend leaving them be. Changing to a more succulent-friendly soil is definitely the right call though 👍🤗
@stephongreg , thank you Steph. I will not trim the brown edges.👍✌️👏
@stephongreg , the soil is kind of muddy. That’s has to be the first thing to go.
Wow it’s beautiful!
And if you do, because of aesthetic reasons, it’s okay to trim the brown off if you don’t enter the healthy tissue with your snips, if that makes sense?
@DreamMachine Hi Nadia. Yes it does make sense. I did exactly that. I was so relieved to see that my little plant was not dead.
@Malagueña it’s one of the best feelings 🥰
