help! my poor aloe!!! - December 21st, 2005 at 03:15 AM
Hi,
Please help me save myy 15 year old aloe. I recently transplanted it because it was getting top heavy with an extended looking stem area coming out of the ground. I think I overwatered it and the pot I put it in didn't breathe enough to let the moisture escape. On top of that I've had my thermostat quite low (62) to help with the energy bills. Right now, all 5 leaves that are left have all gone soft and dark at the center of the plant and I don't know what to do. Can the plant survive somehow without these leaves???? What can I do?? I used cactus soil but still the water was the problem I think.
Thanks,
Ken
