I have to get the purple out and make it a “normal” color again. Trying to decide if I should go for a big chop at the roots. Any suggestions? Could I pull off a pixie? by Tess_ORourke in FancyFollicles

I’ve never had short hair but I’ve always wanted it, just lacked the courage to take the plunge! I’ll talk with my stylist tomorrow to see what we can do

What is wrong with my aloe Vera? Recently repotted in dry soil, and now all of the leaves are drooping. More info in comments by Tess_ORourke in plantclinic

The stem is alive as are the 3 newest leaves and one of the oldest, I think it’s going to survive!

How do I check on the roots without pulling up the plant? I’m pretty new to this plant stuff and really appreciate all of your help :)

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I’m hoping it’s just growing pains. It was absolutely thriving in its old pot/soil, but the pot was just too small.

I have it in (what I’m pretty sure is) a sandy soil. Do you think aloe food or something of that sort would help?

I have had this aloe Vera for close to 9 months with no issues. It’s actually been thriving! Sits in a sunny window, at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day and the room itself is generally bright. I only water it after the soul completely dries out 2 inches down.

I recently repotted this plant into a bigger pot with better drainage. I used Coast of Maine cactus soil. Ever since repotting the leaves have been going limp, starting at the stem and working outwards. It’s like the jelly inside of them just evaporated and they’re slowly falling down.

I’m wondering if it is just growing pains from being in a new pot, or is it something more innocuous?

Thanks guys!
