haworthia and aloe update (help)

So a while back I posted about a dying haworthia and aloe ..

(http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cacti/msg0903154030241.html)

the haworthia now seems to be doing fine, although roots are coming in ridiculously slow, as in there is probably only 1 cm of root growth, but other than that it doesn't seem to be dying or anything.

The Aloe vera however, I'm not quite sure if the roots haven't grown in enough the absorb water (all the old roots eventually 'fell off' so it was a stump) but the ends of the outer leaves seem to be drying up and even turning slightly red. There doesn't seem to be much new growth above soil either. On the bright side, the soft section that was perviously sitting in moist soil has now stiffened back up.

Is my Aloe dying?? Or does the slow recovery have to do with lack of roots and changing seasons?

*I keep all my plants indoors and have also switched over to the gritty mix.

will provide pictures later today
