    ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Aloe vera leaves drooping | aloe vera plant care
    Hi dear friends! Unfortunately, our aloe has droopy leaves, but this will be an opportunity to learn more about the aloe vera plant care and take you with me as I try saving my aloe vera. When we notice our aloe vera falling apart, this may be a sign that we are missing something on our aloe vera plant care. In this video we will see the causes of aloe vera leaves drooping and how we can prevent aloe vera flopping over. Then I will also share with you a strategy I am using with my aloe very plant so I can prevent my aloe from flopping. I hope this video helps you keep your aloe plant happy, and I will for sure give you updates on how it goes with mine on Instagram :).

    Hey great video 👍 I'm trying to find something to help my poor very light, droopy aloe because the leaves are all getting a creases in them and break off eventually after habe been leaning on the pot for an extended length of time and I just realized more are like that. I also found out that if the leaves aren't darker but rather lighter, that it means they're being over watered and that in the winter the women says she sometimes goes up to 4 weeks without watering since it colder.
    I'm about to transplant it into a bigger pot with succulent soil this time and will definitely be checking the roots to see if over watering it has caused any fungus and will most definitely be tying it up so I'm so glad I came across your video 😊
    My leaves are all dropping at the bottom and top is leaning to one side because it keeps growing out of itself on the top going straight up so not sure if I'm supposed to be allowing that to continue or if I am supposed to be cutting them which I don't know how to do without hurting it or damaging it. It definitely is getting a lot of light but it's filtered behind a shade which is closed behind plastic that I refuse to take down because the window is so long and high. I have 4 of that size which took me 4 hours to hang 😒 However, I think I will make a slit at the top and slice it all the way down to pull the turn bar thing through and then just tape it back up like I've done in my living room for 3 windows so I can see out of them.

    Mine gets plenty of light and I’m definitely not over watering, so I’m thinking I may be under watering and it was getting too much direct light so I’ve moved it away from the direct light, which has healed the sun burn but the leaves are still crinkly and some of them are almost completely flat

    Thank you!! I moved my aloe to a North facing bedroom and it's been drooping since so this video has helped me figure out the cause! ☺ I have a question - with the right treatment (ie more sun, or fixing watering or pest problems) will the droopy leaves eventually stand upright when you remove the supports?! I thought my droopy leaves were goners, so it's good to know I might save them!!! 💚

    • @PlantsandLucia
      @PlantsandLucia  2 года назад +2

      Hii! This is a great question :-) This depends, I can tell you with my aloe after time and receiving the right treatment some of its leaves got better 💚 but some of them were already too droopy and I had to prune them off. You can observe your plant and see how she heals over time. I always think observation can always give us more hints on what to do 💚 Let me know how it goes :-)

I don’t want to water it again because I’m scared of overwatering. It’s in the same container/soil that I bought it in. But the soil dries up so fast. Any idea why this could be happening?

    • @p2nd4_31
      @p2nd4_31 3 года назад +2

      hopefully your plant aint dead yet but since your pot is small water it until you see water coming out of the base. (the moment u see the drops coming out of the hole STOP). with succulents a rule is that you water it heavy but never frequently. make sure your soil is completely dry before watering it again. if this info is wrong feel free to correct me.

      Great question! It depends on the issue and how we are fixing it.. In my case, I found out it was because of lack of sunlight, so it took some months for it to get better and it is finally growing healthier. But I had to make sure I provided lots of light, first with a grow light and now a bit of a combination between grow lights and natural light. Hope this helps :-)
