Help, aloe advice

Can anyone give advice please??
I was given these plants last year and they’ve grown quite tall.
Another grew so tall it snapped.
How should I be looking after them?

Don't water them very much, they want to be dry. And put them in a place as bright as you can.

They should grow as neat, tight rosettes. The reason that the stems have elongated is that they’re desperately seeking light. The one the left is salvageable, as is the off shoot in the RH pot. Not sure about the other two, whether you’ll ever get them back into decent shape.

You can give a decent amount of water at each watering, but let them dry out completely between waterings. In winter,only water if you absolutely have to

Thanks so much for answering.
The ones I’ve seen have always been little rosettes, I thought this must be a different variety.
They are on a window ledge south facing so Thought this would be an ideal place for them. I must admit I water them quite a lot.
I’ll move them somewhere brighter and remove the smaller ones from the pot.
Fingers crossed, I feel awful that I may have killed them.
