Hi, go to 'Other Forums', just above 'Bonsai' on this forum's front pg, then down to 'Trees' in the list of forums, and they may help you.

@johngarment That the stems are reluctant to support their own weight is a very good indication the plant is receiving an inadequate amount of light. That the foliage is concentrated near branch apices (tip of branches/stems where extension growth occurs) could well be an indication that root congestion is significantly limiting your plant's potential. * How long have you owned the plant? * How long has it been in the same pot? * What do you do insofar as fertilizer? when last? what product? what NPK %s? what dosage? * Can you provide an image of the plant and pot? It would be very helpful. * How do you decide when it's time to water? * Do you water in small sips so no water exits the drain hole (the pot does have a drain hole?)? * When you water, are you sure you're saturating the entire soil column and at least 20% of the volume of water used exits the drain hole? * If the pot has a collection saucer, do you allow any water which exits the drain hole to be reabsorbed into the grow medium as the soil dries down?

I can't see any obvious yellow leaves in your photo, so perhaps it is just normal leaf shedding where your plant is shedding old leaves. In general, you do have to be careful not to overwater these guys. Because they have fleshier leaves, they tolerate underwatering a bit better than leafy plants. I let my potting mix dry out a little (but not as much as I would with succulents) between waterings. My Peps tell me they are thirsty when their leaves start feeling a little floppy. I've heard they'll tolerate low light, but I haven't tested that out myself. If it's not getting as much light, you'll probably have to water it less as well. I'm still a newbie to fertilizing so I'll leave that to someone with more experience to answer.

Very, very etiolated plant. Probably Aloe juvenna. It should be much more compact, and leaves darker green. In full su, they will color quite dark. Plant should be introduced to sunlight very gradually, especially one that is so "light deprived". Here is one of my plants, getting darker outside (even my plant could be still more compact - but it has been indoors for about 6mo, and I guess ligts were just ok, but not excellent): If my plant, I would cut stems (they can be cut into few pieces if desired) and re-root them. I would cut them quite short, since stretched plant will not revert to short one. They are quite easy to propagate from cuttings. Here are some rooted cuttings (left) and some cuttings (photo on right) that should have been potted up long time ago - but they are still ok, and hopefully I'll pot them up soon: Read thru -THESE THREADS- regarding 'beheading' succulents. Should you have any questions, ask...:)
