Can I prop aloe? This one is getting a little tall and heavy. I wasn’t sure if I should cut it, repot it, prop it. Thanks!

Aloe can’t be propagated from leaves sadly.

You can make aloe Vera gel I do it all the time with mine

It can definitely use a repot. Aloes have very strong and deep roots, unlike most succulents, so they benefit from more space. Just make sure to add plenty of drainage material to your mix. I always amend the soil, even if it’s a succulent mix. I like pumice rocks the best, but decomposed granite will work as well. Using rocks instead of perlite will make the pot heavier, keeping it from tipping over.
