I'm new and this is my first aloe plant. I purchased it four days ago from a local gardener. I was told it could be kept in direct sun (I live in Florida) and it had been raised in the gardeners' backyard nursery. The plant was perfect when I brought it home.
I placed the aloe plant outside on a table and the next day I noticed spots that looked like blisters that had seeped and scabbed. I took the aloe out of the direct sun and put it on another table that has an umbrella to keep out of direct sunlight.
Yesterday I noticed some areas that seemed to be shriveling in the center of a few blades. Today it is continuing with a few other marks appearing. The soil also is quite damp. I'm not sure if the problem was caused by too much sun, too much water, both, or another problem.
What should I do to help my aloe?
