Thinning Aloe Leaves, Spotting

Question

Why are some leaves plump and thick, but others like these are thinning? I think I’ve been under watering before. I wait until the soil is dry with the finger test, and now I water until water comes out of the bottom of the pot (I didn’t do that before. I’ve done 2 waterings since.). I’m hoping with the deeper waterings that the plant will return thickness to the leaves, but how long until I can see these results? And lastly, what are these small dots on some of the leaves? They seem to be only on the older and thinning leaves. No new leaves are thin or spotted.

Answer 1

I have answered this on the original. I might add that underwatering these will be very hard to do. Any signs of withering and browning will be consistent with disease returning in favorable conditions. Treat as recommended, and make sure that the soil is completely dry throughout before watering again for the best results.
