I need help with my aloe. He's gotten huge recently and very top heavy. He was in a hanging macrame basket near a frosted window. This last time I watered him I realized he was using the macrame for support and couldn't stay standing on his own as well as his leaves dropping. They are firm except where they are bent and there are a few at the base that are brown/shriveled. I'm new to the app and need help 🤞🏻 I'm thinking it's maybe not getting enough light? Should I repot? Should I cut down? Help 🙌🏻

    Not sure about the aloe but I need help with my cylindrical snake plant. I see one on your table. Mine keeps shriveling up 1 by 1. What am I doing wrong? Please and thanks in advance.

      Add a picture, but I would guess over watering. I basically ignore mine 🙃

    I would cut off the drooping leaves 😊

    I’d also get rid of all the old leaves. I repotted mine after and buried all the newly exposed stem. When you repot you can stake it upright and it’ll eventually get steadier

    I have one and it is huge. It’s in a deep heavy pot. I pretty much ignore it maybe water a little bit every 3 weeks. It grows in my bathroom in between two frosted windows.

      So it gets a lot of filtered light?
