Oh that is lovely and I think that the colour of the brickwork complements the plants!

Repotted the two small pots of Pheasant Aloe and the one of Aloe Vera yesterday into one large bowl. They were all so top-heavy that if they weren't leaning against something, they kept falling over. They still need support but at least the bowl is much too heavy to tip over now.  |

I looks great, as it happens I have a plant that looks exactly like that to me in my greenhouse and it is leaning over so much that the whole pot is unstable. It is not doing very well, mainly because the head gardener completely neglected it thro' the winter and Arney don't like anyway. Well I do and that is why I bought it from Aldi some years ago, but the label only says 'PLU719 Harmful if eaten'.. so I had no idea what it was! ;D   |

It is looking good apart from leaning over, DAG, and look at that healthy baby coming along nicely. Perhaps you should either repot it in a larger and heavier pot and stake it as well, or try putting some stones around on the soil, also with a stake.
When the bottom leaves get browner and drier, I always cut or pick them off.

I have already picked off a few crinkled brown leaves that came away easily, I think those ones would put up a fight or do you think I should be bold and rip them off? ;D
Yes I shall re-pot them anyway and as you say put some stones in to try and help stabilize it, not to sure about how to stake it!

I just poke a bamboo stick down where I think it will give the most support, don't need to tie it on.
