I purchased this 'Aloe Vera' about two years ago and she's probably doubled, if not tripled in size since then. She vacations at my parent's house in the summer due to the lack of light where we live. I admit, I neglected repotting her this year so I think she dried out too much/too often for my Mom to keep up with watering her enough. She's lost a few leaves/is probably going to lose more and has started developing a stem.
My questions are:
1. Is this normal?
2. Should I be concerned?
3. Is there a way I should go about repotting her to bury the stem or leave her as is?
4. Would be unsafe/damaging to remove the old "sheaths" from the stem or should I leave that there (I admit, I did remove a little from the base of the stem, where you can see a little brown)?
I am really excited though, I noticed just today that she has her first baby breaking the surface of the potting mix!
