Is this root growth out of the stem? How to keep plant from falling over?
Hello! I have two questions about my aloe:
One- are these new roots growing out of the exposed part of my aloe or something else? If the former, anything I need to do to help it?
(I had to cut a lot of dead/broken leaves off at the beginning of summer so there’s a lot of exposed space on the trunk/stem).
Two- this is the first time since I’ve had this plant (6 years) that the leaves are still standing up after they grow long enough and now the plant is falling over in the pot. Got this new shallower pot beginning of summer (zone 6A). The jar is there to keep the plant from falling over. Is this happening because the root system is too weak, or did I put it in a wrong pot?
Thanks!
