sup! I’m getting confused by my climbing aloe plant. its been consistently growing up and the top looks perfectly healthy (to me).

the bottom of the stalks are always dropping leaves and overall dont look amazing. i know that climbing aloe plants get woody stems but does this look normal??? i think i need to change out the soil since its been a bit but otherwise nothing weird going on. help! lol

When mine got totally leggy and top-heavy, I made a bold move and chopped the tops off, leaving enough, stem to plant the tops together in a new pot. They began forming roots in no time. The bottom three stems started forming new shoots off the sides in less than a month. Now I have two plants and it may be time to do something about how big and full and tall these have become. Good luck.
