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. M. Reed |

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? |
