If the aloe vera leaves its thick leaves hanging, there is usually something wrong. How to find the cause of the problem and keep the plant he althy.
Why are my aloe vera leaves hanging?
Aloe Vera leaves its leaves drooping if it receives either too much or too little water, is in the wrong location or the substrate is unsuitable. The right care and a suitable location help to get the plant he althy again.
Why does aloe vera let its leaves droop?
Both location problems as well aswaterloggingordryness are possible causes. If the aloe vera is too dark or the substrate is too moist, the plant will droop its leaves. If you want to find out the cause, you should check both the lighting conditions and the condition of the substrate in the pot. To do this, take a finger sample. Don't just look at the surface of the earth. If water cannot drain away, waterlogging often collects at the bottom of the pot.
How do I treat an aloe vera with drooping leaves?
Provideadequate water supply or repot the aloe vera. You should water dry substrate immediately. Observe how well the soil absorbs and retains the substrate. Basically, aloe vera appreciates cactus soil (€12.00 on Amazon) or a loose sand mixture. On the other hand, if the substrate is wet and muddy, you should dry it out. If you smell a musty smell, you should check the roots and transplant the plant into fresh substrate as quickly as possible.
What protective measures are there in summer?
Spread somegravel on the surface of the earth in summer. With this cover you can ensure that added moisture from the substrate does not evaporate so quickly in hot summer months. You can also occasionally fertilize a poorly cared for aloe vera that leaves its leaves drooping from May onwards. This way you ensure a good supply of nutrients. Then you will soon see the plant's he alth again right down to the tip of the leaf.
