My aloe has a limpy leg should I chop the limpy part off or should I leave it? I’m not sure how to care for one

In my experience it will probably brown/fall off eventually anyway so I would cut it

I will leave it until it does brown. Someday you might want a little piece of aloe for a burn or something.
