Aloe vera houseplant - broke one of the main stems. What do I do now?

Hi all, I need your help.

With me being such a clumsy devil Blush I have broke one of the main stems on my aloe vera plant.

I can't believe it! (well, I can really). Only just bought it from the Garden centre today as well!

As one of the main stems is broke, it looks a little odd, kind of one sided. Is there anything I can do? As it was a clean break, there is loads of the aloe vera coming out.

Any advice on what do do? Will the exposed end seal up, and carry on growing?

Aloe vera are self healing plants so it should be ok.

Thanks figgy. It looks awfully lopsided ... Grin

The plant will grow like mad, I had a few very odd looking aloes as I was always hacking off a leaf in times of emergency.
It will sprout tiny shoots from the bottom and soon you will have many, many aloes.
