How do I get my aloe Vera to grow more vertically?

I love my aloe Vera plant, but am low on space. Is there a way to get her to grow straighter upwards and not lean outwards so much? #AloeVera #Aloe #Succulents

6โ€ pot with drainage

Iโ€™ve never had an aloe vera plant but Iโ€™ve seen online some people use what is called a copper base trellis stake (see image). @Sofiaemmarinda
If you can increase her light that will help her grow more upright. But you will need to acclimate her to it slowly so she doesn't get burnt.

You can also get some twine and a few stakes. Put 3 stakes in the pot and then tie some twine around the stakes to add some support. I know it's not always possible to increase light. โค๏ธ
@yanudinehunyo this is so cool!! I love this idea!
@SuperbRaspfern thank you so much! Iโ€™ll have to try this
@TryRoselle15 the little babies are so cute! And yes I absolutely feel that lol. I have so many intentions with my plants but never seem to have the time to get to it
