Can anyone help identify this type of aloe? I have three cuttings from the original plant that was given to my wife. They tend to grow upwards but cannot support their own weight and will break apart so I’m having trouble keeping them healthy. I feel like they should be growing out not up. If I knew what it was I was hoping I could maintain them better.

They stretch like that when they aren’t getting enough light. It looks over watered as well. The soil looks very wet, you will want some that drains better and dial back the waterings a tad.
