Aloe is multiplying like a rabbit

I was given an aloe plant around three or four months and since then she's had twelve babies and grown massive. The growing part I can handle, but do you have any tips I can use to get Momma Aloe to slow down with the propagation?

Hey, Susan, I know the feeling! Mine have babies too before they can really be called an adult plant.

My theory is that they produce babies if they think they are not getting enough moisture and nourishment. I usually only water them once a week. If you try watering them a bit more often - maybe then they will relax and just focus on growing larger themselves.

Anybody else know for sure?

Blessings,
Ruth
