Aloe Vera leggy growth

Long weak leaves, a stretched stem, and a leaning rosette can develop in insufficient light. Existing leaves cannot shorten, so use the newest center growth to judge an adjustment.

Increase light gradually

Move toward a brighter window or use a grow light at its recommended distance. Introduce direct sun in stages to avoid bleaching tender indoor leaves.

Let the mix dry through between waterings and drain excess. Once the center grows sturdier, remove only badly damaged older leaves. Cutting off all stretched leaves at once leaves the plant with little photosynthetic surface.
