The branches of my aloe vera plant seem to be draining and the plant itself is turning orangish brownish, why?

Asked by DuskaB (2points) July 7th, 2008

My friend gave me a baby aloe vera plant, I’ve had it for almost a month. She repotted it before she gave it to me. It was doing fine until last week… I noticed that one of the branches was starting to drain, and yesterday I noticed that it was happening to all of them. They were paper thin in the top half and normal in the bottom half. It is also starting to turn brown.

I have it sitting in my living room window, where it get direct sun every afternoon, and I’ve been watering it about once a week. Should I be giving it something like Miracle Grow? Any insights? I do no know much about this plan thing, but I dont want to have to explain to my friend that I killed my aloe vera plant she gave me!
