Aloe is a desert plant....don’t over water. Keep in sunshine.

Give it good sunshine and make sure not to over water it. Browning usually means overwatering.

Hi Joyce, aloes need lots of sun and only a little water. They also don't generally need any fertilizer, but if you your plant is struggling, only apply the fertilizer once a year. Look for something that is phosphorus-heavy or use banana peels as an organic option. We stay in South Africa and the Aloes grow wild on the side of the road and we just dump our banana skins around the plants in the garden . You can also make a banana peel tea fertilizer by filling a mason jar with water, and adding the banana peel. Close the lid and let it sit for about 2 days and then water your aloe plant.
Thanks for the tip.
