Saving an aloe plant?

Question

I came back from college to find a very unhealthy aloe plant of my sister's. I am adopting it as my own. It is still green and alive, but some of the leaves have a few darker spots and one of them is clearly yellowed and dead (I have taken the liberty of cutting off the dead leaf). I stole it from her side of the house and brought it to mine for watering. It has thirteen leaves (including the now-severed dead leaf) and is in a small pot with a top diameter of 4.5 inches and a bottom diameter of 3 inches. Should I transplant it into something larger, or is this sufficient? Is the best regimen water and some sunlight?

Answer 1

Dont give it water, that will kill it. Those plants cant stand cold weather either.

Answer 2

yes adopt it  and treat it better

Answer 3

if the weather is nice where you live put it outside(full sun or light shade), many aloe plants do very well living outside as long as there is no chance of freezing.

They do not require a lot of water, make sure that the soil drains good.  If when you water it the water sits on top of the soil then you should probably re-pot with new soil.  If this is the case, get a wider pot vs. a deeper one since they have shallow roots.  

However; they do need some water, so don't let them get too dry.  So soak the soil and let it become dry between watering's.
