Step-by-Step aloe Care & Diagnostic Protocol
AI Doctor ProtocolCalibrate Light Exposure & Orientation
Place aloe in an area with part shade. If leaf tips turn crispy brown, move away from direct southern sun. If stems become leggy, increase light levels.
Soil Moisture & Drainage Check
Always test soil moisture 2 inches beneath the surface before watering (minimum). Ensure pots have adequate drainage holes to prevent moisture stagnation and root rot.
Pest & Disease Inspection
Examine leaf undersides for webbing (spider mites) or powdery white residue (mildew). If yellowing leaves or dark necrotic spots appear, isolate the plant immediately to avoid fungal spread.
