Cut that yellow part off and lay it on top of dry soil for about 8wks. This is how I’ve done this one.

I cut one of my dying pieces off my Aloe plant. I took a clean shsrp knife and made a cut in the green part near the brown part. I left it lay on a paper plate to catch the drips. After a week of letting the end “seal over” I put it in citrus, palm and cactus soil. It will root and make another plant.
