Your aloe's bending leaves might be from too little light - try a brighter spot or grow light for 6-8 hours daily. Overwatering could also be a factor; water only when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry, using well-draining soil. Support bent leaves with stakes if needed, and trim any damaged ones. Repot only if roots are tightly packed or soil is old, using a slightly larger pot. Should improve in a few weeks.  
let me know how it goes!

Mine is also doing this, and I recently increased how much light it gets. Fingers crossed for both of us!🤞🤞

Aw thanks y’all, I appreciate the advice and warm wishes! Fingers crossed for both of us indeed — mine is currently in what I believe is the brightest window in the house, so I may try the grow light approach, especially as we make our way into shorter days. Thanks again!
