Hi! I could use some advice.
I started before 4 years with two aloe veras in the same pot, and they’ve grown incredibly fast — even started flowering a few weeks ago. Now they’re spilling out of the pot, and new shoots keep popping up from the center every week.
Should I leave them as they are and just add some support (since they clearly like this spot), or would you recommend repotting?
If repotting is the better option, I’d really appreciate some tips on how to do it properly.
Thank you! 🌿

It looks incredibly happy, so I’d leave it alone. The pot doesn’t look over-full; it’s just heading toward the window because it likes the light.
Eventually, some of the clumps will probably get top-heavy and snap off, and then you can propagate them. Aloes propagate easily: you let the broken piece sit for a couple of days so the break can callus over, and then you stick them in some well-aerated succulent soil.
I would just leave it, this is how they likely grow. Looks like a climbing aloe to me. Definitely not a aloe vera. They have a more compact spiral growth with wider leaves and orange flowers.
can you post a still image of this? i’ve been looking for this exact behavior for a tattoo!!! thank you ♥️
