    Hi! New member here. I was wondering if someone could give me advice on repotting an aloe vera plant. It seems to be growing lots of offshoots and reaching over the pot, but the stems or "arms" seem to dry up. I don't want to lose those shoots and thought there must be a way to replant them.

    Should I cut off the brownish stem, then plant the flowing top, and if so how close do I cut? Also, is there a reason this aloe keep growing out of the pot instead of straight up? Thanks!

    I would cut them about an inch or two below the green leaves, than plant the new cuttings up to the first green leaf. That always works for me.

    Maybe it's the variety of aloe. I've had viney ones and upright ones. I like the ones like tours, better.
