I understand your being hesitant to repot the plants again so soon after the first repot. I was in the same situation. Folks here told me that I could leave my plant in the less than optimum soil and hope for the best or get them into soil where it will thrive asap. I went for the second repot and my plant is doing great. I'm currently in SW Florida, zone 10A, but I grew up in zone 6 in Portsmouth, OH. While regular potting soil works so-so in Ohio, and my mother still uses it, I think you may do better with at least a cactus and succulent soil. You still need to mix at least 50/50 perlite or pumice with the soil. Every succulent that I used potting soil on when I lived in Toledo died from rot. I didn't think I was overwatering, but the plants did. I think the soil was a big factor. Hopefully the sun will be shining for you soon! It will lift your spirits and help your plants thrive.

They're very adaptable. Probably just adjusting to the new soil. I'd leave it alone for several days and see if it regreens. Btw, the composted layer under chapparal is a great base for soil blending. Scrape off the leaves and take the granular layer. Add half as much real farm compost. How to find a real farm? Go to small town farmers' markets. Wofford Heights near Lake Isabella has a great one 9-1 Sats, at north end of town. Free coffee too, for a whatever donation. If in a big city, ask each seller if they are the farmer, and continue asking around until someone rings true. A real farmer can tell you how they compost their soil, feed their chickens, etc, and will eagerly tell you all about gardening. A fake seller will look away and say, No, he's around here somewhere.

Sarah I never grew Aloe vera, but have few aloes. Look at this thread: -beheading plants - showing different aloe being beheaded, and I think that same could work for your plant. There are many other/different succulents shown in same thread. I am posting this also to bring your thread up, so someone with A. vera experience may see it and respond.

They seem to do that when too dry, they loose the gel in the leaves and fold in. As said above, make sure to have it in a pot with good drainage. Since it's the older leaves I wouldn't worry too much. Just leave it alone until the leaf turns all crispy brown then can be removed.
