Hi, can someone please help identify this Aloe?
The plant was grown in a rather small pot for over
20 years and kept on the dry side for most of the time.
It has approximately one metre tall slim stem.

Re: Aloe ID
Nice! Aloe marlothii or maybe ferox. They are very similar apart from the flowers.

Re: Aloe ID
According to this post, https://www.agaveville.org/viewtopic.php?p=58761#p58761 it's marlothii.
I have marlothii and ferox and, while my ferox are spinier on the back of the leaves than the Agaveville picture, they are a lot less spinier than my marlothii. I'll try and take some photos in a bit.

Re: Aloe ID
The plant has become leggy and looks rather like a bonsai,
miniature version of marlothii
I was thinking maybe it’s better to plant it in the ground ?
Would the stem break because of the weight of new
leaves?
