Help: Aloe Vera Non-Plumpness!

19 years ago

Hi,

I have an aloe that I've taken care of for about a year. Recently the leaves are not as plump and firm as they have been. Instead, the leaf is thin with little sap. Being mostly empty, it curls along its horizontal axis where it would normally be plump and round. I water it about once a week, it gets a lot of sunlight and is still growing tall though not plump. I wonder if I am not watering it enough, during the winter I reduced watering because it got a fungus from another plant :( and, even though I thought I'd gotten up to speed with watering it, it has been in this non-plump stage since not long after we got rid of the fungus. I am also wondering if it needs to be repotted, someone told us not to repot until you get pups but it seems a little crowded to me. Our soil mixture is a little questionable too, really mostly soft dirt and not sand/gravel. Anyone know why it's not plump anymore?
