- The farmer’s method recommends relocating the plant indoors or to a sheltered greenhouse immediately.
- Managing Irrigation:

- Revitalizing the Plant:
- Remove any dry or rotten leaves promptly, change the pot, and ensure proper nourishment, lighting, and watering.
- If overwatered, leading to central leaf rot or fungi, seek immediate assistance from an aloe vera plant expert.
