Why is my aloe plant turning brown? #AloeVera

I usually have my aloe plant next to the window, but I’ve noticed it has been getting more brown. I just moved it away from the window so it gets indirect sunlight and I water it once every two weeks. I’m not sure what I can do. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

Aloe tend to not like too much direct light and can turn brown from too much sun. Moving it as you ha e should help over time, I think.

That happened to my baby aloes. Moving them to the side of the window instead of in front of it seemed to help a lot. I’ve heard that you shouldn’t water it for a little while when it’s sunburnt or else it could shock it (I haven’t tried it so I don’t know for sure) I hope that helps
