My aloe plant is not growing right. I've had it for about a year and the leaves are bending and drying up. Please help me because I don't want it to die, they are very beautiful plants. Can I transplant it in the winter? I just don't know what to do, it’s dying from the tip to the base of the plaint. I can’t give you a picture because this is my first time posting on this site.

3Which variety of Aloe is it? Are you keeping it as a houseplant, or is it growing outside? If outside, what part of the world are you in? – Bamboo Dec 29 '12 at 13:42

I will suggest that you check on the following:
- Is it getting proper sunlight and moderate amount of water to keeps its soil moist.
- Has your plant has overgrown that pot, i.e. if the plant has grown more as compared to the size of the pot, then you need to transfer it into a bigger container.
- Otherwise I suggest to replant it so that soil gets loosened up. Also, add some organic fertilizer while replanting, and check the growth after 15-20 days. Also if you find any insects near the roots, then re-pot it with the fresh soil and wash the roots with clean water before potting it.
