Safely Reducing a Top-Heavy Indoor Aloe Vera

A tall indoor aloe vera leans dangerously. Best: cut most of the stalk, strip lower leaves leaving 4–5" bare stem. Callous 1–2 weeks. Pot in sand/perlite + peat. No water until roots form. If still heavy, cut shorter. Mother plant (if leaves remain) will produce new pups for later transplant.
