      Aloe, the leaves at its base are drying out

      Hello,
      I am having problems with an aloe vera plant that I received in April 2023 (picture 1).
      I kept it in the original pot until May-June 2023, when I separated the seedlings and moved it to the pot it is in now.
      After I moved it and until the end of September I watered it twice a week with a small amount of water, and once I also added a fertilizer for green plants. The soil of the plant was dry before watering.
      At the end of September 2023, the plant looked as in the pictures 2.a and 2.b.
      Now, in January 2024 (picture no. 3), several leaves at its base have started to dry out at the same time as the new seedlings are growing.
      I am wondering if this is normal or if the plant is affected.
      Environmental conditions:
      – temperature: 21 degrees (in winter)
      – light: it stands at the window shown in the pictures, it receives light, but not direct sunlight
      – watering: in winter, once a week with a relatively small amount of water (50-100 ml)
      – substrate: substrate for green plants
      – atmospheric humidity: 40-50%
      When the symptoms appeared: at the end of autumn, 2023
      Transplanting: May-June 2023
      Treatments/products/substances: only in summer with a fertilizer
      Symptoms of disease: the leaves from the base fall off
      Thank you!

      Hello. The symptoms in the attached photos are similar to those caused by plant dehydration. In this case, it is recommended that sufficient water is used when watering (so that the substrate is completely saturated) and that the substrate dries out slightly before watering again. It is also important to fertilize the plant with products specially designed for succulent plants (Cactus, 250 ml). More tips and information about growing and caring for this species can be found in our article in the Armuro Community: Aloe, plant care and growing guide.
      Further, it is recommended to monitor the development of the plant for a while, and in case other symptoms appear or those mentioned worsen, we are waiting for your message accompanied by photos.
