I hope i got your question right, you snapped abranch and fixed it. and you want to know how its done the best way=?... sorry english is not my language. for sure i think everyone snapped a branch of a plant. If its completely broken and off... i put some aloe on it, dig a hole in a pot with soil, pit aloe in it , cut he leaves of the branch i broke and plant her. i give her a dome and normally after a week she grows ( like cloning). If its only hurt badly i do it like in the western films. I give her a including rail and fix the rail ith pipecleaner . If its a little hurt i tape the branch. happy growing
