Trying to save my aloe

I have no tips to offer you with your Aloe plants. They are not a plant that I can grow. They never last long in my house.

Oh ,it is a pity! I haven't grow aloe vera,so don't know what has happened to your aloe vera.Hope they will come to life again!

In Arizona my aloe vera was in sunshine and I never had a problem with it, if I needed some I would just go out my door and cut a piece off of the plant.

My dad used to keep them in sunny windows and would get mad at us for over watering them.

Over watering could kill aloes.. They are sun loving plants but keep them indirect sun light for a few days before you put any plant in direct sun. This one looks like root rot to me.

i used to keep mine'n the back porch, comin' into the house. but, one needs to acclimate 'em, jest's other plants moved in/out durin' the winter months. i still aint certain what occurred with my aloe, outside i didn't give't that quarter turn i'd been doin'. i've great hopes that new roots form 'long'ts stem, though i doubt it'll e'er stand upright'n its own.

Someone told me they liked sun and loose soil.

I couldn't get the like to work. Oh the poor aloe plant. My mom used to grow hers inside. I didn't know about sunlight killing them if exposed too much. That's good for future knowledge.

Indirect sun would be best for your damaged plant, Carmela! I also went looking for something that will help you with growing your aloe correctly. The Wiki how guide has almost everything correct, as far as I can see. The only things I see that they say to do that shouldn't actually be done is keeping it in full sun (unless it is talking about indoors in a window). When you move aloe outside in the late spring/early summer, you must acclimate your aloe by gradually moving it. Never place your aloe straight out into direct sunlight. This will cause your aloe to sunburn and begin dying. You can acclimate aloe vera to an outdoor environment by placing it in indirect sunlight for most of the day. Gradually (over about two weeks time) move your aloe vera into more direct sunlight for limited amounts of time each day. If you see your plant begin to have problems (lighter color or darker color on the exposed leaves) move it back into less sunlight. Like your aloe, I keep mine in full sun inside the house. As I told you before, if we were to look at the glass in our windows through a microscope, we would see many tiny bubbles of air and impurities in the glass. This keeps the plant from getting true direct sunlight. If a plant is moved from inside the house to the outside, it cannot be given direct sunlight outside at first, either. Keep it in indirect light for a few days, gradually giving it more direct sunlight. As long as you see nothing wrong, you are doing fine! An aloe should have five to seven hours of direct light a day, but I still don't allow mine to have noonday sun. Our plants were not born and raised in Africa, so cannot tolerate the bright, hot sunlight the original plants lived/thrived in. I have had mine for years and allow them direct sun early in the morning, and a little direct sun late in the day. The rest of the time, my aloe lives in indirect sunlight.
