I couldn't get it through the doorway without bending it up a little. I've had this aloe plant for like 10 years now, my brother bought it and stuck it in the ground one year and it got huge. Then he dug it up and threw it in this pot and took it in for the winter, then I ended up with it somehow.
It's has been living in about 6 inches of soil for its entire life in the pot (I assume what my brother dug up out of his yard.) I leave it outside when it's warm enough but it spends all winter in a corner in the basement with hardly any light at all. I've never given it any fertilizer, nutes or anything like that. I'm going to show it some love this year and give it a transplant and give the 4 good sized pups their own containers. Talk about a plant that has thrived on neglect though, it has barely been watered all winter. I'll probably leave it in the garage for awhile or the sunlight is going to damage it.
