Answer
Donwea,

It will not stop growing. In fact it should cause it to send out 2 side shoots, 1 on each side of the old growing tip and become bigger faster. That is why pruning vining plants is always good for them. The branch out more and fill out the pot faster. You would be better off getting a bottle of rooting hormone at a garden center and dipping the broken off piece in that then make hole in the soil beside your original plant with a pencil and insert your cutting in the hole and firm the soil up around it. It will root in about a week and you will have 2 plants in your pot to fill it out even faster. Good luck.
