You are impatient. (who isn't) Your first post was just 2 weeks ago. Give the plant time to grow some roots. There is plenty of water stored in the leaves. It will be fine.

While you have the plant out of the soil, why not do some better amending. You should have at least 50/50 mix of perlite and cactus soil. It will be very gritty or chunky looking.

The dirt will stain the stem that you are trying to root. If that dark area is not soft there is nothing to worry about.

That pot may be too large for trying to root the plant. More dirt will logically hold more moisture. (good for you not watering yet!)

And bring the plant up higher. See that white rim of mineral deposits on the rim of the pot? That's about how high the potting mix should be. At least bring it up to where the pot rim starts to flare out. This will allow light to reach all of the plant and better air flow.

In the end, it takes patience.

Also, give the poor thing some real, direct sunlight. These things grow in the deserts of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula in exposed, rocky locations. Indoor culture really makes these plants grow long and weak.

My advice is put the pot outside in full sun and don't water for the next three months or more. I've had aloe cuttings survive for months in full sun without any roots or soil. Like many other succulents, they'll begin to form aerial roots if left in a dry location. Aloes are tough plants, no need to baby them.

I swear it feels longer than two weeks. ...But I tried a smaller pot however The size of the top portion it just topples over. If that's needed how can I keep the plant from faling apart with a smaller base? The soil is completely dry I haven't watered it. Ill get some more perlite to add . And the current stem that darker portion is soft. So I'm guessing I may have to cut that away again ? I'd like to put it outside in good sun but Chicago is currently experiencing a new season a day . I'd definitely kill it if it were outside lol

Yes, anything soft needs to go.

Maybe you didn't cut far enough to have just healthy tissue...maybe you didn't leave it callus long enough....Plant was in poor shape before and it may take a while before it recuperates.

Planting any succulent in big pot only creates problems if the soil drains poorly. Big pot = lots of soil = wet conditions for the plant.

I agree with Josue above, aloes are very tough plants. More you hover over them, more they suffer. I have posted this pic before, here is cut aloe that I am keeping out of the soil for months now just to prove the point. It has not received water at all in a very long time. Nothing wrong is happening, leaves are turgid, there is even new one starting to grow from the center. Oldest leaf is slowly starting to dry - at this point just a tip, but it is really old leaf and they eventually dry up:

just chiming in with another example of how tough aloes can be. We recently came out of a drought here in california, and my landlord's huge aloe plant went months, if not nearly a whole year during the worst of it without water.
It perked right up after a few days of rain and is now green and happy. amazing things they are.

My experience, cutting should let it dry the cut area callus before planting in dry mixed. No water. Right time roots will form. Can apply some rooting hormone upon cutting.

Yeah, I did my best to kill one and it came back. I repotted it in an ornamental pot without drainage holes, but rarely watered it. However it developed scales, so I moved it outside and it was drenched by a few rainstorms. I didn't notice for awhile that the pot was flooded. I drained the water, but the damage was done. The whole plant turned brownish and was drooping. I moved it under a table where it would get the afternoon sun, but was mostly protected from the rain and then forgot about it for a year. It is now nicely green and looks good.
