How do I encourage my aloe plant to not lean over and rather grow straight up from its trunk in the center?
When an aloe plant leans over, it is usually due to one of two reasons: insufficient light or improper watering.
Insufficient light: Aloe plants need plenty of bright, indirect light to grow strong and upright. If your plant is not getting enough light, it will stretch towards the light source, causing it to lean over. To fix this, move your plant to a brighter location, such as a south-facing window.
Improper watering: Aloe plants are succulent plants that do not need a lot of water. Overwatering can cause the plant to become weak and floppy, making it more likely to lean over. Water your aloe plant only when the soil is completely dry to the touch.
Additional tips to encourage upright growth:
- Use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent water from accumulating at the bottom of the pot and causing root rot.
- Fertilize your aloe plant monthly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer.
- Rotate your plant regularly to ensure that it receives sunlight evenly on all sides.
