Friends I come again with a problem. I have a AlhoVera (sorry about the spelling) which is medium and in the past week some of the leaves?,stalks? on the tips have some black spots on them. Its not on all the stems and the plant seams healthy. Sleep warm Ed
Ed the black spots are usually caused by the plant getting too much water and, perhaps, not enough light. Also bear in mind that plastic pots/glazed pots retain moisture more than unglazed terra cotta ones. You should only water it when the top inch or more of the soil is dry. Make sure the pot doesn't sit in a saucer of water either. You could also try re-potting your Aloe Vera using a cactus-succulent mix. Make sure to give your plant some sun too and keep it out of draughts.
Hi, Ed! We just wanted to say that we agree with Eileen that you may be overwatering your aloe plant. Because aloe vera is a succulent plant, you should only be watering it sparingly. We recommend that you transfer your plant to a cactus-succulent mix, as Eileen as already suggested, as well as watering it once or twice a month. As far as light requirements go, you'll want to place your aloe vera in an area that gets a good amount of indirect sunlight. Good luck!
Along with the above tips, if you think it is diseased or has pest, mix some neem oil with water and water the plant with it.
I seem to over water all of my aloe vera too much....I am not very good with indoor plants...thank you for the tips everyone...Good luck Ed, I hope you can save your plant.
