Hey all! My aloe Vera plant is turning a brown color. Iโ€™v...

5โ€ pot without drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
If it is just green with a brownISH hue, but nothing appears soft, mushy, or damaged, then I'd say it's getting a bit of a sunburn. The good news is that the leaves can definitely recover from that. If there are no other issues, move it just a little further away from the light and give it a couple of weeks to return to its normal green ๐Ÿ’š.

And WELCOME to Greg!! @GiftedPlants16
Your plant profile shows that itโ€™s in a pot with no drainage. Most succulents should be in pots with drainage. Also recommend using cactus and succulent soil with some added perlite to help with drainage. You may want to check for moisture in the bottom of the pot before watering using a wooden skewer or chopstick, etc .
The right light/location and avoiding over watering are important in succulent care. Iโ€™ve learned a few lessons the hard way! Good luck!
Hi! I've had this happen to my plants before. This is called sun stress, which is not harmful to the plant and you don't have to be worried about it! Just move it a little farther from the light. But as @RefinedSandwort said, you may want to repot your plant to a pot with a drainage hole, or it will rot.
These happen to my aloe with increased sun, or also if I over fertilize it. Mine are sensitive and can only take 1/2 strength
Thank you for all the support and help. The plant came in this pot, do they usually send plants in the incorrect pot? Which is very upsetting because I would think they would have planted it in the right pot! ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ #venting #nothappy
It looks like there's a nursery pot inside! Try pulling that out, there should be holes at the bottom.
She will come back they go through a plant phase
