Ok so maybe others can help me too. . . .
My Aloe Vera plant out grew it's little pot so I replanted it in a larger pot. It is now getting squishy and is looking sick. I don't know how to revive it. The soil is moist enough and certainly this little succulent plant does not need more water. How can I rescue my little baby from demise? I love succulents especially the aloe plants. We use the aloe for all sorts of things. |

Thanks. I would really hate for this plant to die. I've had it for a few years and it is such a useful plant.

I would make sure that the new soil hase enough drainage (i.e. added gravel) so that the roots are not drowned. Rescuing a tranplant is tough, but can be done if the soil is appropriate for drainage. I bet that Cheryl will know alot more. -Vic |

Thanks Vic. I did post on the gardening thread.
It seems I may have had the soil too moist when I replanted it as well as possibly using a pot that is too big for it. I'll keep nurturing it and see what happens. |
