Ok so I have an aloe vera plant and it seems like when succulent leaves break off. f  
First how do I propagate it? Also it seems that they lean too far out the pot. Is it time to repot or is there a way to support the succulent leaves. The plant is completely healthy.

if you take off one leaf, let it completely dry out until the wound is tough and brown, then stick it in soil. don't water for another two weeks. growing from leaf can take up to year for results, you'll have more success with cutting the stem or dividing the plant. aloes usually droop or lean because they aren't getting enough light. move to a sunnier spot and the problem should resolve itself
