Why are the leaves on my Aloe vera becoming thin and elongated?

Our Advice:

This is a sign that your Aloe vera is not getting enough light. Aloe vera plants require bright, indirect sunlight to grow properly. If the plant is not receiving enough light, it may start to stretch out and become leggy. Move your Aloe vera to a brighter location, or consider supplementing with a grow light.
