The best way to tell whether your succulent is being over or underwatered is by the appearance of the leaves. An underwatered plant will have wrinkly, shriveled up leaves whereas an overwatered plant will have soft, mushy, almost translucent leaves.
Beside this, why is my aloe plant wobbly?
An aloe vera plant is wobbly because of insufficient light. Lack of enough light causes the leaves to bend and the plant to weaken. You may also notice a pale or leggy growth habit on the leaves. Other reasons could also make the aloe vera plant wobbly.
When an aloe plant is being overwatered, the leaves develop what are called water-soaked spots that look soggy and soft. It is almost as though the entire leaf becomes saturated with water, then it turns to mush.
Similarly, what does an Underwatered aloe look like?
An underwatered aloe vera would show signs such as the yellowing of the leaves, drooping, browning of the leaf tips, drying of leaf edges. Also, there will be brown spots, drying of the soil, and turning of the roots into brittle structures due to underwatering. Sounds familiar?
Can you replant a broken aloe leaf?
To keep your aloe vera plant from breaking, make sure not to overwater it. Additionally, make sure that it gets enough sunlight and is not left out in the cold. Put it in a new pot if its current pot is shallow or does not have a drainage hole. You can replant broken leaves after letting them dry.
What does a healthy aloe plant look like?
The plant is stemless or very short-stemmed with thick, greenish, fleshy leaves that fan out from the plant’s central stem. The margin of the leaf is serrated with small teeth. Before you buy an aloe, note that you’ll need a location that offers bright, indirect sunlight (or, artificial sunlight).
When should I repot my aloe plant?
These are smaller offshoots of the mother plant that are still attached to the main root system but can live on their own as full plants. If your main aloe plant is starting to look leggy and droopy and is surrounded by smaller pups, it’s definitely time to transplant.
