Why is my Aloe vera turning brown at the tips of the leaves?

Our Advice:

This could be a sign of sunburn or dehydration. Aloe vera plants are sensitive to direct sunlight, so if they receive too much, the tips of their leaves can turn brown. Similarly, if the plant is not receiving enough water, the tips of the leaves may start to dry out and turn brown. Make sure your Aloe vera is getting the right amount of water and is not placed in direct sunlight for extended periods.
