Where do you live? It might need more water. Check the roots and make sure they are not black. If they are the plant has to much water. You should not water it at all during the winter months. Your Aloe vera plant should have nice yellow roots. If you need more help feel free to email me. jason.berkes (at) americanaloe.com
We are the largest Aloe vera grower in the USA.

My Aloe vera is in direct sunlight and thrives. I find that they like to be fairly pot bound so make sure your pot is not too big. Mine gives off lots of offsets every year and I 'bring them on' in very small pots in the green house.
