Aloe Vera Plant is Drooping? Falling Over?

Your aloe vera plant is most likely tipping over due to overwatering. The leaves start to fall over because the root structure is starting to rot due to too much water in the soil. The aloe vera plant is part of the succulent family and they do not need to be watered is much is a lot of people think they do. It’s very common for the aloe vera plant I only need to be watered once a month indoors.

Another reason your aloe vera plant leaves are falling over is due to its size. The plant could just be so large that the leaves are starting to tip over due to share weight. You may need to consider doing a report so that the route structure can grow a bit larger to hold up the plant itself. You may have to use some strapping to hold the leaves up temporarily.

Thanks your advice was very helpful about aloe vera, and you are not saying too much you said everything that I needed to know

🚨🚨No no! Don't just "chop" a leaf 😂😭... It needs to have a bit of the root tissue still left on the very bottom of it in order for it to root! 👍🏾💚

Great advice! I didnt realise you can literally leave it unwatered for a month! And it makes so much sense that the drooping leaves are because they have too much water in. Thanks a lot :)

additional comment repotting into a deeper pot(not wider) can help with big aloes(mine is a foot and 1/2 tall and was tipping cause her roots were pushing her up, now shes happy and grew another 3 inch)

Super great just what I needed to tackle my sad aloe! Your space/ plants are very inspiring too!

Thanks for all the info. The more the better. I had a monster plant that broke and now struggling with the divided portions. Will be getting to work on repairing the issues today!!

I find aloes get really big in the summer with lots of light then winter happens and it starts dropping because not enough light consistent thru the year. That's the real battle! I also water very sparsely, perhaps too sparse. Have found that dribbles of water more regularly is more preferred than deep watering where it takes too long for the soil to dry, leading to rot. Happy planting!

Thanks for posting. Mine has been in the same spot for years. Suddenly, it started drooping so I thought, being winter, it didn't have enough water. 2 weeks later, no difference. Gave it more water but none draining out the bottom as usual. Today, I just put it outside in the shade. Maybe it's just time. When you say without further ado, you are actually saying everything you said before that is worthless and trivial information.

U should used a bigger pot. Store pple put them in the small pot just for selling them not for u to grow them into it. Bigger pot make the aloe happier.

I have my significant other to thank for my love of succulents, and I genuinely do mean THANK ☺️ because I was one of those people with a “black thumb” before, I was completely unable to keep any plants alive. I literally killed them all 😂😂😂
Cacti and other succulents are easier. They may have a couple drawbacks, but overall I feel they have a *lot* more “pros” than “cons” #HellYeahSucculents!
