I inherited this aloe, which my girlfriend refers to as Frankenstein. I re-potted it into a larger container, but these stems, while visually impressive, seem in conflict with how the plant should grow.

I've been told to cut off the tops, (leaving a few inches of stem), and re-pot. Then, cut the stem down to just above the dirt, and plant that too.

At that point, I'd have pots for the tops, pots for the middle sections & of course, the remaining original pot with new growth coming up from the dirt.

Is that the solution?
