If that's how it came, i wouldn't burying it further, it could cause rot on those nodes.

it was suggested tk me to prop him so I did. 😅

Oohh gotcha. If it's a prop, you can essentially try and get roots out of any nodes you want.

I see you have moss! You can wrap the bottom chunky part with moss then Saran Wrap that. Give it a really good misting before wrapping it tight. Once it has roots, you can either cut it off and restart it or plant it deeper 😊

oh wow wish I waited for this comment before I chopped him to prop already 🙃
