Aloes are usually propagated through offsets (baby plants that come up near the main stem) or sometimes seeds.
It sounds as though your aloe has been getting too much water. They go through a resting period where watering should be cut back to nearly nothing. The dormant period may happen more than once a year. Even during growing periods, aloes should be only watered when the soil is completely dry. And it should also be potted in very fast draining soil.
I hope it recovers for you. They can be wonderful plants to have around.

Getting old is the pits. But it sure beats the alternative. My Blog

My name is Herby and I too have drowned an aloe!! LOL LOL The leaves don't root!! It propigates itself by putting out 'pup's' when it get's crowded. So the important thing soil and drainage. I like to get a cacti mix for them and the Christmas Cactii. They really do thrive on neglect. Aloe does not like full sun as it's a succulant. same for Xmas cactii. I put a wee bit of weak fertilizer in their water. If the leaves are bent over and drying at the bend remove them and use them. They are great for burns and make a great facial and many other things. You c an put them in a bag in the fridge for a while or in the freezer for emergencies.(like Sunburn!) They grow from the center so look there for viable plant. Ok I'll shut up now!! One of myn fav plants!! Jus don't let it totally dry out and stay that way. Good luck!! lol

I guess I did 2 things wrong with my aloe! I watered it too much then I put it outside in the fuul sun. Oh well I put it in another pot with drier soil (that drains well now) in hopes that it will survive.
