Hello! I'm new around here, and in need of help. For the record, I'm one of those beginners who somehow manages to keep her plants alive, but doesn't really understand much beyond keeping them watered and in whatever light they need.

A month or so back my sister-in-law moved and gave me about a dozen of her houseplants. So far most are doing pretty well, but I have my concerns about an aloe vera and a coleus plant. My sis doesn't know much more than I do, so when I ask for her help I don't get much to work with.

The aloe came to me all jumbled up in a single pot, and because I'm not much of a green thumb, I figured this was normal/okay for whatever species it was. But I'm starting to have my doubts since some stalks are turning yellow. What do I need to do to make sure it stays healthy?

And after looking around on the internet, I think the other plant is a variety of coleus. Recently it's started to get rather droopy. I do know that my sis-in-law allowed the flowers to bloom without pinching them off, and after reading I gather that's not ideal? But yeah, it's getting droopy and unhappy and I'm not sure what to do.

Thanks for taking the time to read this! I appreciate any help you can offer :}
