Our plant has very thin leaves. It is a healthy green, but the leaves are almost flat! What can we do?
Thin leaves can indicate they are not receiving enough water.
Here is a link to refresh you on the care requirements.

When the tall spikes of tubular orange flowers are finished blooming do I cut them back? Also how often will the spikes come back?
During the winter I had my plant indoors and the leaves nice and green. I now have placed it outside and the leaves have turned a greenish brown still looks healthy but doesn't look nice. What did I do or what could be the problem?
Aloe Vera can actually get sunburned or sunscald when indoors all winter then being taken outside in to bright sunlight, it can be stressful and shocking for them to go from one extreme to another. Stick it in a spot with less direct sun and slowly increase the levels of sun it gets each day.
I had a plant that add a second plant growing off the side of it. I had a plant that had second plant, not a baby, growing of it. The second plant was same size as the mother plant.It hung down and rested on the table. It fell off the table and broke apart from the mother plant. Can I root this second plant and if I can how. It has no roots. only a stem left from where it had been attached to the mother plant.
If the aloe pup (the second plant) had a complete root system on it, you could simply have put it in prepared dirt and let it root, given the proper care. Since it does not, I'm afraid the second plant will not survive no matter how hard you try.

Hello, I have an aloe vera plant, it was doing great for fifteen years I have had it. then I put it out doors for two days where it rain almost each day. I brought it back inside after. now the plant is very limp and not doing that great anymore. I had it inside for about a month, watered it very little.
you over saturated it, it is essentially a succulent. it needs almost no water. a good sprinkle of slow release granulated vegetable fertilizer every 6 mo. and a well drained pot with sandy soil if about all it needs. Treat it like an orchid, only water it when the bottom of the soil is dry then let it dry completely. If it does look dead though, just clean up the dead stuff and leave it be, it will come back. I have had two that have gotten frozen and died off above ground and then came back the next year.
I had an aloe vera plant my cats ate. I have the root of the plant and was wondering if I could replant the root to re-grow my Aloe Plant?
You certainly can give it a try.
Use a small pot and repot with a cactus potting mix.
Keep the soil just moist; not dry or soggy.
Keep it in a bright location and hope for the best!
After the aloe has bloomed and died, do I cut back the flower stem? How do I care for the plant after the flower has died?
After the flower has faded you can remove from the plant.
