# Hey all! Any ideas what I can do with this aloe? It’s grown a lot in…

_Posted by Kirsten on 2026-05-02_

Hey all! Any ideas what I can do with this aloe? It’s grown a lot in the past couple months under a grow light, but now it’s getting top heavy and doesn’t really fit in the area. A few lower leaves aren’t as sturdy, but I’m not sure if it’s just cause they’re older leaves or if it’s drying out? I watered it recently (plant care info attached). The trellis doesn’t seem to be helping much. I thought about cutting it to prop, but I’ve never done that and wouldn’t know how or where to start! There is a little root growing out the bottom but I don’t know if it needs to be repotted. Any tips and advice would be really helpful and appreciated 😊
