@sarahsalith thank you I miss him a bunch…
they were doing great and developed brown spots and I removed those and now it just looks sad.. I have tried replanting some babies that came off of the main one 🤞

I'm really tempted to say to chop the long, bear stem to give the leaves a new lease on life. But I've never propagated an aloe.
I want you to wait and see who else will say something that may be helpful.

Do y'all have any information that'll help Vanessa?

I would agree with @vvvelo about it needing more water! He is a succulent genius! I know mine are much happier in direct light as well, it makes them less “leggy”. @sarahsalith may be right about chopping the large stem but I have such a hard time cutting my plants back (which can be a bad thing too though!)
@GatherandGrow this one burns in direct sunlight very quickly 😢 when you say the large stem that would be the main light brown stem? Would I be able to replant it without roots? 👀

@RoundBigmuhly I would keep that leaf. It seems like it just slightly burnt under direct sun. It does not look like it is rotting .
Uuuhh there is a dude on YouTube that has an aloe farm and he pretty much hacked off the old dead parts until it was basically a (still huge) nub. Then he put it into a big planter and in a few months he has a new plant and lots of babies! Oh I found it!! https://youtu.be/I3A4JicVHKE https://youtu.be/AgWL-uQdF2w Good luck!!
i’m sorry for your loss. i’d say try to put a stick to prop up the plant and remove dead leaves.
