Typical problem with aloe is overwatering. And modern potting soil often is loaded with sphagnum, which stays wet too long, and then when it dries it becomes hydrophobic so watering the plant doesn’t wet the entire soil.
- johnisgood 2y agoI agree. I do not water them and they grow crazy!
- hinkley 2y agoOnly water when the feeling of guilt at not watering them is overwhelming.
