Aloe Vera Pups and Dracaena Care: Water Management

Two aloe pups (slightly rooted, one damaged) potted in houseplant mix, not watered yet. Roots looked rotted, some removed. Used rooting hormone.

Aloe Care

Water once to activate hormone, then let dry completely before next watering.
Damaged leaves: leave; they'll dry and drop or recover.
Overwatering = rot. Aloes need minimal water.

Leaves yellow/dry/fall, new growth too. Repotting didn't help. Likely underwatering (not over). See guide: Dracaena Care
