Can anyone help identify this type of aloe? I have three cuttings from the original plant that was given to my wife. They tend to grow upwards but cannot support their own weight and will break apart so I’m having trouble keeping them healthy. I feel like they should be growing out not up. If I knew what it was I was hoping I could maintain them better.
How big does it get ? That looks a bit like a baby plant, which is a more difficult to ID.
Some plants are leggy like that, but sometimes it's a lack of light. Does it grows toward the window ?
They tend to grow upward but in corkscrews. Not necessarily toward light. Yeah this and the other three are what I was able to salvage from the original that was maybe almost a foot or 14 inches long! It crept right out of the pot and I had to support it on another plant pot.
I don't have an ID for it I'm afraid, but I think it might be partially how the plant grows, and partially too much water. See the other comment on the thread: get a different soil that dries faster, make sure to have holes at the bottom of the pot, water less.
