the frog fruit is finally taking over the lawn in the back, if we weren’t renting I’d put it out front too (may do it anyway 👀..)
the bees & butterflies are happy!

Your plant does not hate the sun, you just need to acclimate it properly 👍

Since it’s “I put my indoor Aloe out in the yard bc it’s warm now & I heard they like a lot of sun, but now I’m panicking that it looks awful all the sudden” season -

ACCLIMATE YOUR PLANTS PLEASE! Yes, they do actually like a lot of sun…but going from indoors straight to full sun outdoors is too much of a change. And the lack of acclimation is the problem, not the sun itself. Start off in the shade, work up to more & more real sun over at least a couple weeks. And even when you do acclimate slowly, they may still turn a little brown…but don’t let people that have floppy pale green Aloes (the ones that insist they hate direct sun & their indirect light plant is *thriving*) persuade you that they don’t like sun and that the brown means it’s “too much”. It doesn’t. Leave your plant alone, maybe give a good drench occasionally but that’s it..just let them adjust to the change in environment. They will be FINE. And eventually you’ll have a healthier Aloe because it’s getting adequate light, even if it’s only in the warmer months. Use grow lights if they have to be indoors in the winter and that will help.

Patchy bleached spots are sunburn or edema, brown that is spotty is fungal or from something like thrips. Solid brown like a tan is a temporary, nonharmful stress color. Clearish brown is rot. Not all “still green” Aloes are healthy.

another NOID Aloe…I’m hoping this one is ‘Moonglow’
