I’ve been avoiding aloes for years! I just get so frustrated with them being so wobbly and unstable. But, I just found a super gorgeous and unique one, and was gifted one this weekend. So, I’m trying again.  
I’ve seen people put rocks on the top of the pot around the plant to help support it. Or just straight up tying it to a post. I’m considering trying the rocks. I’m also just trying not to touch or move them as much as possible so those roots can really establish. Mine are so small, the “base stem” where all the roots come out are sooo thin 🥲

It has rocks at the bottom of the pot but had some around top might work???

Rocks in the bottom of the pot would add some good weight. Or if you don’t want to disturb the plant, you could sit its pot in a deeper heavier pot and add the rocks in there.

I would suggest you don’t cover the top in rocks because that can trap too much moisture.

That was my only worry with the rocks, thank you for letting me know!

Clay pebbles around the top

Mine does the same thing. I just put mine between other pots.
