Hi,

I have an ALOE plant, its in gritty compost. When I bought it it
looked green & healthy, but its going brown & looks really sick.

I have no idea what's wrong but it must be me who's killing it.

It was on a nicely sunlit window, by a radiator, so I have moved it to
a sunny windowsill with no radiator. But its still not getting any
better.

It was dry so i have given it a good drink, but still not getting any
better.

Can anyone give me any assistance as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

My Aloe Vera went brown I think it was getting to much sun (sun burn?)
relocated into a bright place with no direct sun and it has now turn
back to its healthy green colour.

Can a desert plant get sunburn?

If it was on a window sill with the glass concentrating the rays, very
possibly. Outside in the garden, no.
