I ordered her from etsy and she looked great! she came in a 2 inch plastic cup so i moved her to a bigger plastic bowl with a bunch of tiny holes at the bottom like a shower head for drainage. I bought an 8 inch flower pot but decided not to plant it in there because i heard planting in a too big of a size can damage it.

I bought aloe vera soil off of amazon and soaked it in water since it wasnt absorbing water at and then planted the aloe in it.

its been a little over a week and i noticed that it was dry but also the leaf near the base was folded and super skinny.

is the folded leaf recoverable or cut it off? and what caused it?

Ive been raising her indoors because i heard too much sun is bad but I dont know if this is lack of sun damage or lack of water or too much water damage

I've been practicing my progression towards a handstand push up but I don't know how i can progress from here.

I can do elevated pike push 12 reps with moderate difficulty so I advanced to wall leaning hand stand push up and can do 8 reps of that

but I see people going straight from pike to handstand with their legs straight and lifting off and I cant do that at all.

I think the problem is that Im not flexible at all. when I bend down to touch my toes I only reach half way past my shin. I try looking online but there doesn't seem to be much tutorials for people who aren't flexible.

How should I practice lifting my legs off the ground when I'm not flexible at all?
