Using the wrong soil Aloe vera plants require well-draining soil to prevent root rot. If you use a heavy or clay-based soil, it can retain too much moisture and cause problems for your plant. Instead, use a potting mix specifically formulated for cacti and succulents, or make your own by mixing sand, perlite, and peat moss.
4. Placing the plant in low-light conditions
Placing the plant in low-light conditions Aloe vera plants require bright, indirect sunlight to thrive. If you place your plant in a low-light area, it may not receive enough light to grow properly, and its leaves may become pale or yellowish. Place your aloe vera plant near a window that receives plenty of sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
5. Not providing enough space
Not providing enough space Aloe vera plants can grow quite large, and they require plenty of space to spread out their roots. If you keep your plant in a small pot, it may become root-bound, which can limit its growth and cause other problems. Make sure to provide enough space for your aloe vera plant to grow by choosing a pot that’s at least two inches wider than the plant’s current pot.
