or has anyone got any idea of what variety of Aloe vera it is x
Looks like you've got 3 good looking plants there. I'd repot them into a pot each, give them a good soak then put them in a semi shady spot, preferably with morning sun which isn't as hot as the sun is later on, if that makes sense
When I repot mine, I do a mix of 2/2/4- 2 sharp sand, 2 grit (some at the bottom of the pot for drainage) and the rest soil. Mine love that mix and the babies I potted up in September last year have gone mad, some are a foot high!
They don't like loads of water generally but with yours I'd be tempted to give them a little bit every other day or so just to help them along
