» Feature Writer Susan Walsh - Drooping aloe vera

In response to Drooping aloe vera posted by AsbestosMango:


Hi!
It sounds like it may be rootbound. Was the rootball more root than soil? If so you can try carefully seperating the plants. Are the leaves soft and mushy? That's a sign of overwatering. If they are wrinkling, they are probably reacting to being underwatered for so long. If they are still firm and smooth, then they just need more light. A western or eastern window should do the trick. Good luck!
