does this look like it should be repotted into a bigger pot?? thank you plant friends #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove
Hi, this definitely looks top heavy.🧐 It looks like it’s in the Aloe Vera family? Beautiful plant πŸͺ΄ ☺️
Such a pretty plant! I would repot into something about two inches bigger to prevent rot and be sure there’s a hole at the bottom. Other than that I think your doing a great job taking care of this beautiful plant! 😊
@Succulent_Soul @FabBearsear60 @debbiecakes it would depend on how big the root ball is. If the roots are completely taking over the pot, then I would go up one pot size. If you used bagged potting mix, make sure to add at least 50% perlite, pumice, or orchid bark or any combination of those to your soil. You want it nice and chunky.

I think you may also need to increase the light for your plant too. It looks like they are starting to get leggy and stretched out, which is causing them to look too heavy. This happens when any of my lace aloe pups are in low light, and they will grow much more nicely and compact when they’re happy in high light ☺️

Here’s my papa plant for reference!
Oh yes! I would move it to a brighter area and if the root ball is surrounding the current pot I would move up a size with more of a succulent mix as @DreamMachine was saying.
A bigger pot would help. Just a few inches larger. Pretty plant though!
