How do I know if my aloe plant has root rot?

Root rot symptoms generally include dark brown, mushy root tips and dark, mushy lower leaves. Soft rot is a bacterial disease that causes water-soaked spots in aloe leaves. As decay spreads through the insides of the plant, the leaves turn mushy and collapse. The spots may enlarge and merge together.
