Though famously resilient, aloes are also sensitive to overwatering
What’s the problem?
I thought it was nearly impossible to kill aloe plants, but mine looks very pale and limp.
Diagnosis
You’re right; aloe vera is famously resilient and seen as an easy plant to care for. But all plants are living entities with specific care needs. Pale, floppy leaves usually indicate overwatering, inadequate sunlight, or poor drainage, which all cause the same problem: too much moisture in the soil. Aloe plants store water in their thick leaves, so any excess easily causes root rot and weak growth.
