Why is my Aloe vera becoming too tall and leggy?

Our Advice:

This is a sign that your Aloe vera is not receiving enough light. As the plant stretches to reach for light, it can become tall and leggy. Move your Aloe vera to a brighter location, or consider supplementing with a grow light to encourage more compact, healthy growth.
