Congrats on your new babies!! I would recommend a soil that’s marketed for “cacti/succulents” (I use sungro bc they’re local to me) or you can google blends to make at home!

My biggest recommendation would be to try and find pots that are significantly less deep. Something short and wide tends to be good for aloe as their roots don’t grow very deep, but get wide. This will help prevent any root rot.

They’re also gonna want a ton of light

I actually took them out of that pot and put them back in to readjust them bc they were wonky they have a really long and thick stem that I assumed was the roots so I thought that’s why they were in this tall pot

Could I cut that stem to fit it in a shorter pot?

You can! you can use cinnamon as an anti fungal powder after you cut the stem. If you want
