Oops...I accidentally left my Aloe plant outside and we had a hard
freeze:( From the tips to about halfway down the plant, they are brownish
yellow and squishy. The rest of the plant looks fine. Should I snip off the
squishy parts...will it grow new tips? Forgive me for sounding dumb, but
this is the first aloe plant I've had...
thanks!

Cut the "squishy" stuff off as far back as you can. Don't water for a week
or until the soil has dried out completely.

Then when you realize the plant is dead, you can throw it out!!!!

I wouldn't be so quick to throw it out. I've had plants with "squishy" parts
come back.

That makes no sense.
The "squishy parts" are dying leaf tissue and that doesn't "come back".
