First ever aloe Vera. Moved it outside a month ago, this is the before and after. It looks SO different, and I’m not sure if it’s getting sicker or healthier?! What does it need??

It is SO healthy. Bright green is an excellent indicator for this type.

This is the aloe equivalent of “bright-eyed and bushy-tailed”. Good job! Keep it up :)

That looks great! Aloes in general thrive in sunlight. If it gets a little brown that might be sunburn but even that usually goes away relatively quickly.

Yeah I messed up initially by throwing it out in direct sunlight and then it turned super brown hahaha. So I took it back in a few days, then gradually moved it to shade then sun. Whew, plants are hard.
