Either it just me or it's the soil, but it looks very soaked .. you should water them every 1-2 weeks..so if you are watering it a ton, let the soil dry then let it sit for a week or two, check up on it, maybe leave it for another week then you're good to go. You can ask me a lot of questions about watering. 😊
@WhollyMizuna89 The best I can offer you and the way I care for mine water is the enemy. I water my aloe when it dries out completely. This way you run no risk of root rot . If you’re unsure stick something long in if it comes out clean water ( not before) and fun fact they do most growing in fall and winter. Good luck What type of soil are you using? It looks like it would be great for plants that prefer damp soil . Do you have sand or charcoal too mix in making it easier to run through as it should. Even perlite wood chips would help . Good luck And most of all resist the need to water till it’s detest iut completely before watering again
Also try poking holes throughout the soil with a chopstick or something equally long so that air can get deep inside the soil to help speed the drying process. Hope that helps!
I water mine when the leaves start to kinda get squishy. When I do water it, I soak the soil and don’t water it again until it’s completely dry and the leaves start getting slightly mushy. This has all worked out for me so far. I hope this helped! 😊 πŸͺ΄
