Aloe Vera plant
 
My wife and I recently (about a month ago) got an Aloe Vera plant from
Wal-Mart. We had one leaf that started to get very swollen at the top
and thin at the bottom. We cut off the swollen part, but the leaf seems
to be rotting from the top down now. And to top it off, we noticed that
another leaf is starting to do the same thing (swollen on top, and
thinning at the bottom). We repotted the aloe after we cut the first
leaf.

I was wondering if this is normal, and if it's not, what could be
wrong. Any advice would be very helpful (since I haven't been able to
find a thing online about it).

Rot in Aloe vera plants is often a result of over-watering. Let the
soil dry between waterings.

We only water it once a week, and only then if the soil feels dry.
Would it be advisable to let it go another couple of days, from when we
think the soil feels dry, just to make sure?
