Just like normal with any other plant. Gritty mix that’s well draining. For propagating, you cant propagate from just the leaf, you need a stem, and aloes make babies when they get to be bigger, and you can find them and pull them off.

Looks like a pup growing next to her😍

aloes propagate themselves by putting out babies like the other comments say and as far as top heaviness goes i would just bury her deeper and make her more stable. eventually aloes probably need support but that’s okay, we do too:)
