I have this (what I thought was) aloe plant that I got from the discount section at Lowe’s. It seems to be growing tall but not necessarily leggy so i’m not sure it’s elongation. i was hoping i could get some suggestions on changing care so it’s not as tall or if I have the wrong plant and thats just how its supposed to be! Theres a lot of leaves broken off from how I got it, hasnt had any issues other than some sun burning since ive had it. It gets decent sunlight from a window and sometimes additional growlight.

this is just how they grow. this is in fact an aloe, i think lace aloe. if you want it short again you can just cut it 🤷‍♂️
