2,4-d is not a fungicide, it is an herbicide. If it worked against fungus, that would be news to the lawn community. Not sayin' it won't work, just saying it would be news. Is it an illusion or is this area slightly mounded up from the area to the left? If it is mounded up, then drainage would be better from that area allowing it to dry out more between watering/rainfall. That could easily cause a problem in one spot versus another. The obvious issue would be not watering deeply, once per week, throughout the summer. But then why would you have any grass if drought was the problem??? If you have not used any organic fertilizer in the past 3 years, I would suggest you do that to improve the health of your soil. Healthier soil can fight off disease better than sterile or deficient soil. The one I like for this year (due to cost) is alfalfa pellets (rabbit chow). You can get a 50-pound bag at your local feed store for around $12-$14. If this is a first time in 3 years, your first app should be 10 pounds per 1,000 square feet. I would follow that up in a month with a second app at 20 pounds per 1,000. 20 pounds is the normal rate, but if your soil is not already sort of healthy, it will take longer for the alfalfa to decompose and it can smell a little sour for awhile. If you have doubts that alfalfa is a fertilizer, here is a picture posted here at GardenWeb by mrmumbles in 2011. He had fertilized the spot with alfalfa in mid May and took the picture in mid June. Note the improved color, density, and growth. Sometimes a lawn with poor soil will crash under repeated applications of chemical fertilizers. The occasional use of organics seems to keep the crashing from happening. Quite often homeowners will try the alfalfa and stop synthetics altogether. There does not seem to be any problem with a continual organic regimen. I've been doing it since 2002. If you think the problem is a fungal disease, the other thing you can try, on top of the alfalfa, is to apply ordinary, ground corn meal at the same rate of 20 pounds per 1,000. Results on this seem to vary, but it has worked for me every year. If I did not use corn meal I would not have a lawn at all. In my yard it stops the progress of the disease immediately and allows the new grass to come up disease free. If you are reluctant to use fungicide, and I completely agree, then corn meal is the only alternative we think we know about. Like I said, results with corn meal are all over the map but it works for me. I would not try the corn meal until after the 10 pound app of alfalfa. Corn meal is also an organic fertilizer, so it will prolong the effect of the organics. If you normally winterize with a chemical fertilizer after the grass stops growing, you can still do that whether you go with a full organic routine or not. Lots of people who are otherwise all organic will do the final app of the year with a chemical fert like urea.

Once a week in a pot isn't enough water. It's probably dried out and the water is just running thru. Set it in a saucer such that you can hold water about an inch deep around the bottom of the pot. That will allow the media to rewet by wicking up from the bottom. If it is from being too dry it should look better in a couple days. After it gets going again don't drown it by standing in water all the time. Let it dry out some between waterings but not so much that it droops again.

I did have it in a larger pot & just replanted it into this smaller pot last week. I repotted it because it was looking awful & I knew it's current conditions just weren't working. I've had it since last summer & it was doing fine until this past fall & has slowly gone downhill since. When I replanted it, there was hardly any roots to it & all the soil right around the roots were hard as a rock. I could barely break up the soil. It started looking better for a few days, but when I got home from being gone over the weekend it had took a turn for the worse.

Hello! Your pot needs to have holes in it, and you need to have a well mixed soil. I suggest a 50/50 cactus soil and perlite mix. Please make sure it's not getting too much water. If the soil is completely dry, give the Aloe a little water. If the soil is moist at all, don't water it. Test the soil 2-3 times a week by sticking a toothpick into the soil. If any of the soil sticks to the toothpick, and is wet, do not give it any more water. It would definitely help to identify what's wrong if you post a photo. Another thing you can do is acclimate. Maybe putting them immediately out into the full sun was a bad idea. Acclimate slowly, and you will eventually work your way up to full sun. Then, the Aloe will be more used to the sun.
