About a week ago, I asked this community to help me “fix” my friends’ Aloe plant. Thank you to those who responded. 😊 I took the advice and prepared the healthy part of the plant like this and it has been callousing since yesterday. I plan on repotting it tomorrow or Tuesday. Question…is it possible to break this up further into smaller pieces to make a few smaller plants out of the big one? It is very top heavy and I don’t want it to grow any taller. TIA.

I would just take off a few more rows of leaves and pot it deeper in the pot.  
They tend to get top heavy overtime. I have one too.

Yes and it would be the same process.
