    Rip. Probably overwatered it. It happens. Just try again.

    Trim and don’t water for a while. And get it enough light. Mine looked like this and is now having new growth!

    Nutrient void soil, possibly too cold, possibly under or over watered (I can’t feel the soil from a picture and both can lead to the discoloration and drooping), and possibly too dark

    Fix: repot with cactus or succulent soil, clean roots off between replanting. Replant, and water only when soil is completely dry. It may take a few weeks/months, but the plant will heal itself. That’s the beauty of aloe. I would not trim unless the leaves are mushy type soft. I’ve had depressed leaves refill with proper hydration wonderfully! Place in a bright area to encourage regrowth. Best of luck!

    What is that soil? Looks way too compacted and dense. The plant is suffering from dehydration, you could be giving way too much or way too little water. My guess is you’re underwatering it because you mentioned “spraying” it in another comment. You should be pouring a significant amount of water with each watering, allowing the soil to get completely soaked through. Then, don’t water again until the top of the soil is dried out. Though, the first priority with these plants is new soil that has drainage. But honestly, these plants are practically dead and aloe vera are so cheap and easy to find that I would just start over with new healthy plants.
