How to save aloe vera when it becomes soft

1. Prune rotten roots

Reason: It is a drought-tolerant plant. If too much water is applied, there will always be water accumulation in the potting soil, which will become very wet and affect the absorption function of the roots. The roots may rot and the leaves will become soft.

Solution: Dig the plant out of the pot, place it aside to dry, then cut off the rotten roots, and then replace the potting soil with new one, paying attention to the issue of water application in the later stage.

2. Pay attention to shade

Reason: Although it likes to grow in the sun, under the stimulation of strong sunlight, the moisture in the leaves will naturally evaporate, causing them to become soft.

Solution: When the sunlight is very strong, change the maintenance position. Do not place it in direct sunlight. If necessary, use something to block it and expose it to a scattered light environment.

3. Keep warm

Reason: It cannot withstand the cold. If you do not pay attention to keeping warm in winter and grow it in a low temperature environment, the plant will be affected, resulting in frost damage and the leaves will naturally become soft.

Solution: Move the plant indoors for maintenance in winter. Do not leave it outside all the time. Make sure the temperature is above 5°C.
