Does my plant need a new pot?

#AloeVera I wanted to see if anyone thinks I need to repot my Aloe. The base of the plant seems to be getting pretty heavy. Thank you!

I would definitely say to take it out of the pot and see, the leaves definitely look big and beautiful and if its getting pretty heavy without water but especially water it doesn't hurt to check! If the roots look great I'm sure a lot of would love to see them too 🤭

I'd say no, they love being compact.

I’ve propped mine up with stakes for that very reason- they will actually sort of snap off and topple out of the pot!

nah you only need to repot if it isn't rehydrating fully when you water it

I think it’s totally@up to you! I would wait another month or so for spring but if you feel it’s going to topple over what I do if I’m lazy is I just put the whole@plant and pot in a larger terracotta until I can fully repot it.
