Help Aloe Dying A Slow Death - April 4th, 2006 at 05:23 AM
Hi everyone,
My aloe (I've had it for about 10 years) got too heavy for it's pot the other day as it was growing lopsided on the edge. We heard a ripping sound and then the whole plant fell to the floor. There were no little [/LIST] [/LIST] roots on the end, just one long central stem/root.
I have re potted it in soil (regular soil I had some store bought tulips in). But now it has slowly turned a sickly yellow tint and some of the bottom arms (leaves) are losing their thickness and turning brown on the ends. I fear it is dying a slow death.
I think maybe the roots were ripped off with the fall... any ideas how to save my lovely aloe?
I appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Edna
