How can I get my Aloe plant to produce new stems? Do I need to cut back on ones she does have? I know you can cut open the stems and use them for body gel. When can I do that?

It looks like her pot is way too big
0개 좋아요It looks a bit droopy, which could be a lack of light or overwatering. They aren't super fast growers, but Usually just bright light, chunky soil and they grow really well. Cutting them won't produce more growth like a nodal plant. You can essentially cut them at any point for aloe gel, though the larger leaves are easier to access.

2개 좋아요I caveat that with.. the first decade was a lot of neglect on my part 😬. But I had a 2yr old offspring too😆
