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.

Looks like the aloe succulent I have that shot upwards too. I don't know the name but as it was sold as a succulent maybe that will help narrow it down.

Succulents are a big group of plants, and aloe just a part of it, but they broadly need the same kind of care: lots of light, not too much water.
