Have you watered it?

Excessive watering and frost are usually the triggers for Aloe Vera going soft and brown - they need little water, but they are tough and should recover if the cause is removed.

If the leaves turn brown, it usually means too little water. If they turn pinkish, it means too much water.

No Aloe Vera does not like too much sun, mine is growing under trees. and do not water much. I had the plant first in the sun in Brisbane and it turned brown so I transplanted it in shade and it does well.

My aloe is soft and not bright green in spots and others are brown and curled.

Do I need to cut off the brown? Let it dry out? Water it? Feed it fertilizer? Replant?

Leave on the brown, it will replace it on its own. Water it Once, and then let it dry out thoroughly between waterings. Once or twice a month at most.

If it has been in the pot for a long time, it may be pot bound or lacking in nutrients. Try a slow release fertilizer and give it good amounts of sun.

My aloe seems to be doing the same thing, turning brownish. It wasn't really growing inside so I put it outside (I live in Cordes Lakes, AZ) where unfortunately it gets very hot, very quickly. Is there any hope of salvaging this? Does it need less water? I do the finger soil test and have kept it moist like a squeezed out sponge.

Hi, I live in ND and have had this plant for a few years I transplanted into a bigger pot about the end of April and I've kept it in a greenhouse in my backyard. I know it didn't freeze but just wondering what else could have a made it change color like this but the middle is still a nice color green. I brought back inside hoping it might do something any opinions please let me know

My aloe vera turned brown and i kept it outside after changing pot. The plant has changed its colour automatically and has given me flowers also so surprisingly. I agree that they are tough and can take care of themselves. just enough water and sunlight is the secret of good aloe plant.

my plant did the same thing turned brown i hink i might have kep it in the sunfor too long.

i just added more dirt
