I’m not sure how to improve my aloe. It gets a lot of sun right by the window and I’ve been watering every 2-4 weeks (once the soil is completely dry).
Mine looked like that when I watered it too much. Then it lost all its leafs at once😭

Lack of direct sunlight

That’s not enough light. The leaves are so long and narrow from etiolation. If you don’t have a better place with even more sun then you can supplement it with a grow light. But I’d cut back on the watering immediately until you can get it more light.

I had this with mine! I took it out of the soil and trimmed off any mushy roots, and planted it in some fresh soil. I haven’t watered it since (a few months back) and it’s bouncing back in its own time!
They thrive on neglect 🙂

Mine looks exactly the same and I too cannot figure out why. It’s not overwatered and gets plenty of sun. Maybe I over fertilized, idk.

I don’t water my aloe unless the leaves are curved significantly inwards. If they get too poofy or start to droop, stop watering for a while until they start looking indented. The happy leaves are flat across or slightly indented.

The soil is too rich for this plant. Repot into cactus soil with better drainage (assuming the existing pot does drain). More sun.

Mine looked like that when I forgot about it so it wasn’t getting watered at all and was sitting in a window with direct sun. Could be getting sunburned if it’s getting enough water
