My aloe plant has no roots but continues to grow. It cannot stand up on its own. I had a problem with overwatering, but it has recently been repotted to succulent soil and to a smaller terracotta pot. Should I cut off the water logged leaves ? they are the two that are held up by popsicle sticks.

    If there's something wrong woth them and they're messing with the stability of the plant id cut them back/peel them off. You can use a rooting hormone to help with root growth

    I noticed succulent soil retain lots of water. Cut/peel is good bc the plant will not waste energy trying to help damage leaves. Rule of thumb is feel the leaves and if it feels soft when u pressed then it needs water. Add some vermiculite 50/50 cactus soil for better drainage. Good luck.
