Sometimes the leaves are too heavy since they are full of water. You can gently prop them up with wood skewers/chopsticks and twistties

Using small rocks around the base of the plant can provide some support also. I use crushed granite as a "top dressing" for most of my plants: this helps control humidity AND provide added support for the root system particularly top heavy plants-such as a hefty aloe
