Yikes! My aloe has fallen and it won't stand up!
It happens to the best of us. This specimen aloe succumbed to root rot, despite the fact that it never got any 'intentional' watering from my trusty garden hose. Clearly water averse, I've got to be much more careful with it from here on out. Watch as I remove the rot until healthy tissue is exposed. I'll let it harden off now, before replanting in in DRY porous soil in a POT. It's lost its inground privileges for the foreseeable future! I also spotted the start of some aloe mite damage on a couple of the leaves. I'll talk about how to handle that, too, with some imidacloprid insecticide like BioAdvanced Tree and Shrub from Bayer.
What a hot mess.
