Placing the plant in low-light conditions Aloe vera plants require bright, indirect sunlight to thrive. If you place your plant in a low-light area, it may not receive enough light to grow properly, and its leaves may become pale or yellowish. Place your aloe vera plant near a window that receives plenty of sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
5. Not providing enough space
Not providing enough space Aloe vera plants can grow quite large, and they require plenty of space to spread out their roots. If you keep your plant in a small pot, it may become root-bound, which can limit its growth and cause other problems. Make sure to provide enough space for your aloe vera plant to grow by choosing a pot that’s at least two inches wider than the plant’s current pot.
6. Ignoring pests
Ignoring pests Aloe vera plants are susceptible to pests like mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects. If you notice any signs of pest infestation, such as small white or brown bumps on the leaves or stems, take action immediately. Use a neem oil or insecticidal soap spray to kill the pests, and isolate the plant from other plants to prevent the infestation from spreading.
7. Incorrect Fertilizing
