Hi and Thanks for your advice.

I have been experimenting with different positions around the house. After
placing them back outside, they changed colour again and so I brought them
back inside just before the rain started, and within a couple of days their
colour has returned.

Shade from the afternoon sun.... I'll see if I can find a position around
the house that will allow that. Thanks again.

Oh, and I'l try the sunburn treatment also.

Do you have any tips for restoring their lush green colours when and if

they
fade? Is there anything I may have done wrong that you can think of.


Aloe are tough. What I've noticed is: if they are sheltered from the
worst of the sun then they'll be green all over. If in full sun, then
both aloe and candleabra will develop an orange border to their leaves.
I'd reckon if you were to move your aloe so they can escape direct
afternoon sun they'd revert to green all over with time.

I wonder could you treat their sunburnt leaves with aloe gel? :-)
