my poor aloe

i transplanted it a few weeks ago into its permanent home. 

since then, the bottom leaves have been pinching themselves off and i suspect cutting off lifelines in distress.

see, i put in my compost scraps which were kind of watered down coffee ground consistency as well as a few eggshells.  since then the beast hasnt been doing very well.

i'm worried.  it's like a child.  a sweet child of mine, if you will.

i think i'm going to have to dig up the roots and dig out the compost and trash it.  i really dont want to willingly kill this poor plant that has done exceedingly well in my home.  i know that i paid only $6 for it but it has honestly brought me so much joy and pleasure and surprise that i can not kill it.

i think i'll be digging it up and repotting it with extra TLC tomorrow. 

poor plant...honestly, my heart bleeds for it.
