Thanks
I was without internet for the past two weeks otherwise I would have responded sooner but right after I read your post I tried checking the roots and found that it didn't really seem to have all that many and a couple of them were flat and dark at the ends. I took those parts off and replanted. I also cut back on watering. The plant seems to be doing worse now. The tops of the leaves are beginning to turn brown, and more of the leaves are starting to go thin.

Do you think it could be related to the cold? I'm in Canada and our house is heated by a fireplace so the temperatures fluctuate quite a bit in certain areas of the house depending on how well the fire is burning, there are also certain times during the day when the house will get pretty cold because there isn't anyone home to maintain the fire. I'm thinking about placing the Aloe Vera on the mantel above the fireplace, it would stay a lot warmer up there, and there is a south facing window directly across the room from the fireplace so it would get a bit of sunlight during the day. Is this a bad idea?

I really want to revive this plant but it just seems to be getting worse Sad
