Helloooo, someone please help1 I have several Aloe Vera plants, all in various sizes and ages but there are two pots of Aloes that keep having problems. The leaves liquefy from the base of the plant up. It's always the largest one on the bottom. These plants have all gotten new dirt, new pots, some bug spray and have been allowed to dry completely out before watering. But these two plants keep doing this! They put out babies and do fine for a while, then they start to liquefy again and I have completely lost one plant already. They get plenty of indirect sunlight and are not under a heater vent in the house, the cat doesn't pee on them and they get food in the summer when they are outside. All the others are healthy and growing well. Can someone please tell me what may be wrong? Disease? Insect? Fungus?

Thank you so much and happy to be here!

If I need to post this in another forum will someone direct me to the right spot? I don't want to post this everywhere and bug people but I'm hoping for an answer. I've had these plants for a long time and I can't find an answer anywhere. Someone please help!

I have had this problem as well, I don't know exactly what I did although I seem to remember bugs in the soil, attacking the roots. It hasn't happened this winter but it may of helped when I reppotted them last . Sorry I can't be anymore specific

Thank you for the reply! I wondered if it was something like this or not. I have replaced the soil and pots a couple of times, but there is just a couple of plants that didn't respond well...but I am going to try again. Thanks again!
