I got this 3 foot aloe plant that originally had so many babies in it that I couldn't water the poor thing. I managed to get all the babies out but then in my pursuit to make it happy I think I over watered it and then it also got too cold. I couldn't bring it in because it was so heavy and it took forever to get my boyfriend into the mix. (We can both be procrastinators) The best action I thought was to cut the wilting leaves off and then put the plant into the pot deeper and do it up to the currently healthy leaves. Do you think this is the best course of action?
