    Aloe Vera grows where average minimum temperatures stay above 30 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit. In summer it tolerates lows from 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and in winter it does not do well in temperatures under 40 degrees Fahrenheit

    This sounds like a case of needing to be fed, and needing more light! This will happen if nutrients aren't available, or if there is not enough sunlight to sustain optimal growth.

    Those are open! That is what they look like when they are mature. They don't ever "bloom" like other flowers do.

    That is strange. Compaction can have these results, but usually letting it sit for a few seconds will allow it to absorb.

    If this is clay soil, then you will want to amend this. Clay soil can be difficult to work with, and turns into an impenetrable barrier to water.

    It looks fine to me. When the soil is dry, you can try pulling up on the soil ball to see if roots are encircling the plant. I doubt that it is rootbound, though.

    It is growing, but it may be stretching a little, so try giving it more light. They need bright light and do best in south or west facing windows. They don't really need fertilizer but if you want to fertilize, do it once a year in the spring.

    Here is more on care.
