Why are the leaves on my Aloe vera turning yellow and transparent?

Our Advice:

Yellow and transparent leaves on Aloe vera can indicate over-watering, poor drainage, or excessive exposure to direct sunlight. Over-watering can lead to root rot, which can cause the leaves to turn yellow and transparent. Poor drainage can also lead to waterlogged soil and root rot. Excessive exposure to direct sunlight can cause sunburn on the leaves, which can turn them yellow and transparent. To fix this issue, adjust the watering schedule, improve drainage, and provide some shade or protection from direct sunlight.
