A friend grows this plant and the pot is filled with it,with no spare
compost to be seen.I think that as the plant grows and expands,it will
support itself. regards Roy

I've got an aloe vera plant indoors - the type which has the spikes
growing
at 180 deg. rather than 90 deg. and the spikes are eventually flat rather
than upright It had been leaning towards the light, I turned it round and
it started growing back. But with a lot of new growth coming through, it
got
too top heavy and just flopped over today. It's only a hand's width to the
growing tip but the new spikes are about 9" inches long. I've put a stick
in
to support it but it looks a bit silly. Any ideas on how to support it or
strengthen it?

Thanks!
