I've had this aloe for probably 3 or 4 years now, it's done great until this year where its started turning brown like it's been watered too much (despite me watering it once every few months) tipped over and i realized it basically had no roots, like root rot. I thought it was doing better but it still has no roots. The soil seems so dry and useless but i'm scared to water it again because it will not grow new roots. I'm trying to find a smaller pot currently, and I do not have access to succulent soil, but I should have some generic potting soil. I'm at my wits end with my plant and after tipping it over again i'm just so frustrated. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
