My Outdoor Aloe Vera Plants Are Dying

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis) is a native of Africa and among the most used medicinal plants in the world. Aloes are succulents with nearly 180 different species. The plants are highly prone to a fungal infection that causes eventual death.

  1. Identification

    • Aloe vera plants growing in overly moist soil are susceptible to root rot, which causes a decline in plant health. Root rot is caused by Phythium, Fusarium, Phytophthora or Rhizoctonia fungi. Excessive soil moisture in aloe vera is a frequent cause of disease.

    Damage

    • Root rot is characterized by the wilting of plants. Foliage color becomes dull and gradually starts to yellow. As the disease progresses, plant growth is stunted. Inspection reveals a dark, soft and rotting root area. Stems are weak, develop brown tips and break easily. The entire plant is gradually killed. Seeds planted in infected soil rot in the soil and do not germinate.

    Control

    • Aloe vera is sensitive to excessive moisture. Avoid placing plants in daily sprinkler areas and grow in well-drained ground. Obtain disease free, healthy plants from reliable sources. In case of severe infection, remove and destroy the plants and roots entirely.
