Too much watering is also one of the main reasons for the soft leaves. Aloe vera itself is a plant growing in tropical areas. It has strong drought tolerance and does not have high requirements for water. Therefore, do not water too frequently or excessively, otherwise it will lead to ponding in the basin and rotten roots, which will affect the growth of aloe vera. Generally, when we cultivate aloe vera, the soil should be selected with good drainage property, and watering should also be controlled to ensure that no ponding occurs in the basin soil. Especially in the balcony or outdoor breeding, in case of rainy days must be timely drainage.

Because aloe comes from tropical and subtropical areas, cold tolerance is relatively poor, so try not to let aloe appear frozen in the process of cultivation, otherwise it is easy to appear soft leaves, winter maintenance can be moved to the indoor sunny position, the temperature is kept at 5-10℃, in order to ensure that aloe can safely winter.
