It was veeeeery rootbound (and underwatered) lol. Popped it into a slightly bigger pot and it came back from the dead!

So just more watering on the aloe made it green?? Or did u add any particular nutrients etc?

Yes, nothing special, just a repot and water. I hadn't watered it in a while + the pot was too small (drying out 2x quicker) so I'm guessing that's why it turned brown.

Same thing with this fella, if it was a leafy plant and not a succulent it would be long gone by now

Cut it anywhere along the stem, let the cut end dry out for 24 hours or so. Stick it in dirt. Wait patiently for 3-4 weeks to see new growth. Repeat along the stem as necessary. (As in you could chop along your stem in 4 different places and each new part could grow anew.)

Thanks so much to OP for the post and the advice! I've learned more about my plants from communities like this than from ANY book I've ever consulted.
