[captaingoat]

My aloe is tipping over due to it's top heaviness. I cut one of the big leaves off but it wasn't enough. Any suggestions?

Get a wider based container??????????

How is thst supposed to help my plant tipping? The plant itself is tipping not the container.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I think the only thing you can do is to place braces in strategic places around the plant. Also you might think of getting a deeper container so the roots can grow deeper and help hold it upright.

1. Do brace the plant with stakes, heavy rocks, or both.
2. Place your Aloe, in brighter light. Tighter growth and added stability will be only one of many benefits.
3. Give the plant time to develop a fuller root system.
