1. Remove the Aloe vera plant from its current pot. One of the typical reasons for Aloe vera plant death is root rot. In order to determine if this is the case, you need to first take the plant out of its pot.
Loosely hold the base of the plant and the bottom of your pot. Tip the pot upside down, and continue holding the aloe plant with your other hand. Hit the bottom of the pot with your hand or knock it against a table ledge.
Depending on the size of your aloe vera plant, you may need another person to help you. One person should hold the plant base with both hands, while the other person tips the pot upside down and hits the bottom. You might also find it helpful to jostle the pot back and forth until the plant comes loose.
If you still have difficulties removing your plant with two sets of hands, you can run a trowel or knife around the interior of the pot and try releasing it again, or push some of the soil out through the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot. If your plant still does not come out of the pot, you may need to break your pot, but this is a last resort.
While releasing the Aloe Vera plant from its pot, be sure that you are keeping the plant itself as steady as possible. All the movement should be centered on the pot, not the plant itself. In other words, hold, don’t pull, the plant. Hitting the bottom of the pot will keep your roots intact, and gravity will push the plant downward
2. Tend the roots of aloe vera plant. Examine the roots and determine how many of the roots are still healthy. Mushy roots are characteristic of root rot of aloe vera and need to be removed. Any roots that aren’t black or mushy are good and can be kept.
3. Chose a pot that is one third larger than the root systemof aloe vera . Any excess soil will hold water and could cause root rot in the future, so a smaller pot is better than a larger one.
The roots of Aloe vera plants grow horizontally, rather than vertically. Aloe vera plants can also become quite heavy, and the weight of the plant can cause a narrow pot to tip over. Thus, select a wide pot rather than a deep or narrow pot.
4. Use potting soil suitable for cactus or succulents. This type of soil has a higher sand content and produces a well-draining environment for your aloe vera plant. You can find this type of soil easily at your local garden center.
5. Replant your Aloe vera. Prepare the pot by filling it with the potting soil mixture, and shake your Aloe vera plant gently to remove about a third of the soil that has attached itself to the root ball. Place your plant in the newly prepared pot and cover the top with more of the potting soil mixture. Be sure that the entire root ball is covered with the soil mixture , but don't bury the plant deeper than it was in the first pot.
6. Do not water immediately after repotting. Your Aloe vera plant needs a few days to readjust to its new pot and to repair any broken roots.
7. Check the soil. You can tell if your Aloe vera plant needs to be watered by pressing your index finger a few inches down into the soil. If the soil is dry, your plant needs water. Aloe vera plants are succulents and do not need to be watered often. Overwatering can kill your aloe vera plant.
8. Modify watering according to the season. Aloe vera plants need more water in the warmer months, but less in the cooler months. Water less often in Fall and Winter, especially if your aloe vera plant lives in a cool space.
9. Examine the leaves. As a succulent, Aloe vera plants store water in their leaves. If you notice the leaves are dropping or are becoming almost transparent, your plant likely needs water.
10. Water aloe vera until the soil is just moist. Water should never sit on top of the surface of the soil, so water with a light hand. Continue to check your plant weekly or bi weekly by testing the soil to see if it needs to be watered.
11. Check the leaves. If the leaves of your Aloe vera plant are turning brown or red, your plant may be sunburned
12. Reposition your aloe vera plant. Move your plant to a place where it receives indirect, rather than direct, sunlight
13.Water your aloe vera plant. Check the soil and determine if your plant needs to be watered. The soil is likely dry if your plant has been getting too much sunlight, since the water would be evaporating more .
14. Remove dead leaves of aloe vera. With a sharp, sterilized knife, cut the leaf away from the plant at the base. Any leaves that are dead take nutrients from other parts of the plant, so be sure to remove them so that the rest of your plant doesn’t suffer.
