Watering every few weeks or when almost dry. Gets lots of bright indirect light.
I've has this plant for years and it's been growing like crazy. It's so tall now that if I don't use chopsticks to support it it will fall over and break at the base. What should I do?

Have one of these too. Gets full sun Or grows in my brightest window under grow lights and bulbs and still grows the same. Babies galore and its getting tall too. I feel like they’re meant to hang outta the pot or grow across the ground. Excited to see it years from now.
people say to remove a few leaves at the base, let it callous, then put it in a pot and water it, how accurate that is i’m not sure. i’ve been curious how to prune an aloe in anticipation of mine getting too big for it’s pot. I wonder if you chop the top off it will grow back? not sure how these go
