Hi I just got an Alow vera plant and put it in a new pot. at the place that I purchased the plant they seggested that I add a little sand to the soil for better drainage. On the tag that came with the plant it said water once a week or when the soil is totally dry. That is what I have done so far it is doing pretty well but the tips are starting to get brown is this from to much watering or to little watering? it is growing in the house on a counter that has good light but not direct light, most plants that I have had grown there do very well.
