Hi all.

I have an old (and rather big) aloe plant. It's main leaves are about 3-4" thick now, and it is growing upwards quite a bit. However it seems to be too top-heavy for the stem portion to support itself. I've been propping it up with sticks for now, otherwise it just flops around and rests on the side of the pot. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for strengthening the 'trunk' portion so that it can stand on its own. I have seen plants in stores that have a bit of a sturdy trunk to them, such that they are sort of a mini aloe tree.

Thanks!
