omgosh !!! I'm so happy I came across this video... My poor baby ;-( I thought I was doing right by giving it a lot of sun. Thank you!!!

Gold! Gold! Gold! Thank you for helping me figure out why I have purplish brown leaves!

This was a great segment. I have aloe plants and I’m experiencing the {light & dark) situations with my aloes. Thank you for this vital info. I will make the necessary adjustments to make them happy. 😊😊

My mom and I call it “sunburnt aloe” because we see them all the time here in Nevada

I didn't know aloe made babies! I love that. Thanks!

[succulentlivingbymarija]

so true! I have learned this by observing. First year i got all succulents in, the ones without enough light got pale green color. As soon as they are moved under lights, they recover. Nice and informative video!

Very helpful! Now I know my aloe needs more light. Thank you!

[NoFeArChiC]

Thanks for sharing what too much light - and not enough - looks like on an aloe. Super helpful!

[cjjenkins]

*immediately checks to see if there's very light center leaf colors and is confirmed aloe needs more sun like she had suspicions about. Almost falls off chair to check plant* Lol thank you for the info!

Very informative! My aloe is not getting enough light and needs water it turns out. Thanks for saving my aloe!

[cramremherb]

Wow ok. My aloe had waaaay to much sunlight.

[bazdaniels]

oh great!
that explains some things :)
one thing though -- I put aloe in big pots and they make a lot of babies!

[loreeenacify]

Thanks so much for your information! I received an aloe suffering from root rot, my little Vera is recovering and growing healthy roots! I worry about it, and I wanna provide the best environment possible that I can control. Got some bad info from other people, best video Ive come across.

[adinarainrajiah]

I like how she calls them, '' this guy''. It's cute ^_^

[alexisgarriott]

Most informative video I’ve seen about aloe!

[romeezydabreeze]

Great video!!! I am growing a aloe for the second time. This was so helpful

[TheDolphace]

Thank you.
For obvious reasons it's extremely hard to find what a scorched aloe looks like.
Just get people saying put aloe sunburn 🤣

the brown or purple color is just a temporary stress color, and can be caused by thirst and temp changes as well as getting increased sun. it’s not simply “too much sun”…as long as the plant is acclimated properly (especially the pale etiolated plants) & gets enough water (with good drainage), they can take full sun in most places. Aloes are partial to full sun plants, depending on variety & environment. thin, curled leaves are signs of thirst so the “too much light” plant was more likely just not getting enough water for the amount of sun it was getting.

the Best Things I did to my aloe:

Giving it too much sun
Waterlogging it
Making it listen to music

My aloe thrived in these methods

Don't believe me? I'll make a vid about these 3

I live in the Midwest, and I keep all my succulents and cacti outside as much of the year as possible, as long as the temperatures are above freezing. Heck, even in the winter, I take them all outside if we get a string of days where nights are above freezing. Anyway, I have found that my aloe vera plants have zero tolerance for direct sunlight outside. Even in soft evening sun, they will sunburn. So, I keep them under a porch overhang, where there is bright shade during the day, and never any direct sunlight. They are super happy in the shade, and show zero sign of not getting enough light. In the winter, when I have them inside, they will even sunburn if they are too close to a window. I think when it comes to aloe vera and sunlight, there is no one size fits all. Maybe it depends on the genes of the individual plant. You have to see what your own plant will tolerate.
