  4. Can you tell me what causes my Aloe leaves to “deflate”, as if the gel inside has evaporated? Too little water?

  5. Yes Millie, it’s either lack of water, too much sun, or extreme heat. I live in Tucson where this past summer was extremely hot. That happened to the leaves on my AV but now they’re plumping back up.
