Default Aloe vera Help please

Hello everyone, I usually have the black thumb of death, but have had an
Aloe Vera plant for 5 years. Despite lots of neglect it is still alive. I
keep it in a pot indoors and it has started to flower, the ugliest flowers I
have ever seen. There is a 12 inch stem with pinky elongated bell like
flowers. This year side shoots have started to grow on the stem, at the top
is a sort of pine cone, green & white stripes, another looks like a seed
pod. In the pot is a tiny aloe plant, not joined to the roots or the main
plant , but growing on it's own, I would like to grow more for friends, but
how do I do this? Thanks D.
