My Aloe Vera’s Leaves Are Drying Out!!

Question

Hello all,  I am worried about my Aloe vera!!! It has brown sunken spots all over the leaf, for now are just a few, but it seems like this is increasing, also the upper part of the leaves are drying out. From what I have read it looks like is Alternaria spot leaf, but I am not completely sure and don’t really know what to do.  My questions are: 1. What exactly it is? (Picture attached) 2. Prevention and treatment 3. After treatment will it be secure to use the gel? 4. It is placed in a good location? (Picture attached) I will kindly appreciate any advice, as the general state of my aloe vera is getting worse.

Answer 1

It sounds like something is affecting the roots and preventing water uptake to the upper leaves.

If you haven't already, repot in new cactus potting soil in a clean pot. Inspect the roots for mushy, brown spots and remove them. Replant.

On the aloe, cut out any sunken, brown spots. They should heal over.
