How can I help him?πŸ’š

#AloeVera
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 4 years ago
Oftentimes yellowing and browning stalks is due to , overwatering. Only water your Aloe when 75% of the soil in the pot is dry. In the winter, you can allow your plant to dry out a little more between waterings. Your Aloe plant is native to very dry climates and is extremely drought-tolerant.

When you water your Aloe, make sure you provide enough water so that liquid flows from the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and into the saucer. It’s really important to discard any excess water in the saucer and not to let your plant sit in any standing water. Your Aloe doesn’t like β€œwet feet,” which will cause the roots to rot and lead to the eventual death of the plant. Hope that helps! Give her some TLC and enjoy her β˜€οΈπŸŒ±
@LovingSunnyAZ is spot on. Your poor aloe has had too much to drink.

I would consider changing the soil, as well. Aloe like chunky, coarse soil that drains well. Regular potting mix can retain too much water and cause issues.

I only water my aloe about twice a month. If the Greg app tells you to water your plant and the soil is not bone dry, hit "snooze".οΏΌοΏΌ hit snooze as many times as it takes to allow your soil to dry well. That will help the app to learn how you water your plant.οΏΌοΏΌ
