You can put it back soil and give a little more water. You can also put the plant in water to water prop it.

Would u say water propagation might be more helpful in this case - just so it can grow a little bit more roots? Thanks in advance!

I would recommend putting her in perlite or leca to strengthen those roots 🥰

Honestly, it really hard to propagate a cutting when it is wilted like that. Last resort? I'd try to stick whatever you have there into water to get it hydrated and if you see any rot after. You cut it!

I would cut it and propagate it, that’s what I would do to get a new good healthy plant 🌱 . Is the stem squishy?

I would prop the nodes put the one with roots back in a airy dirt mix and the others get a clear container with a lid wet spagnam moss and just lay the nodes on top
