Aloe Base Extremely Long.

Question

We are planning to prune the roots and repot this aloe with some supports, but the base has gotten so long and the plant is too heavy. She’s a monster. Can we peel the leaves off of the base and let let the base heal/callous when we prune the roots? If we can bury more of the base of the plant in new soil I think we will have a better chance of straightening her out. I do not want to risk rotting out our Big Momma.

Answer 1

I wouldn't bury more of the base. Here are some common reasons an aloe flops over. I wonder if it's not getting enough sun.
