Can I bring this guy back? It was in a pot and I noticed it was getting super droopy and yellowing. I went to check the roots and… root rot! I’m putting the two stems in distilled water only… is this the best way? I’ve never tried this method before.

Keep an eye on the end, and if it continues to rot, you may have to cut up to a higher node. Change the water if it starts to look dirty, and good luck!

I’ll keep an eye out. Thank you! I hope it works

Distilled water lacks nutrients so I would recommend readding nutrients to the water. I use hydroponic nutrient drops from modern botanical!

I’ve been looking for nutrient drops! I’ll check them out. Thank you for the recommendation :)
