Aloe Vera PLant
By Mookins
Norfolk,
United Kingdom 
i have this and when I fist got it it was very succulent and healthy, then it went brown and slightly shrivelled so I changed the soil to make it slightly gritty, and hardly ever water it. I did have it in the greenhouse but now its on the kitchen windowsill. its still looking quite peeky but slowly perking up, is there anything els ei should do?

Give it a good soak but don't let it stand in water for long. Let it dry out for a week or so, depending on temps, and soak again. It can last without water for a while but does need watering regularly when dry.

I water mine about weekly, and add very occasional dilute feed. Some were brown in the winter, but I leave them outside in summer (since early May) and they have gone more green.
Brown tips to the leaves are a sign of lack of water.
