Had her for years and started paying attention to her vs ignoring her and I watered too much. Trying to save pieces to start over. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LAin9rR0inhnkViP8ZBN_M-ZITfb9tPARpKO-QdSRno/08a33d0f4adf4b8092f83db7efa68462.webp?size=large) ## 5 comments ### Women are Water commented on 2023-12-12 I remember the plant. You posted it before right? I’m so sorry! I remember admiring its beauty #### Lindsay in PA replied on 2023-12-12 Yes! I got so many compliments on her. Then I started paying more attention and too much attention. ### Women are Water commented on 2023-12-12 Maybe after they callus you can add them all back to one pot to reroot. Then go back to ignoring it and we will all act like this never happened! #### Lindsay in PA replied on 2023-12-12 #goals! I’m trying a few in water to see what happens. I saw a video on line where a guy rooted cacti in water. ### Mel commented on 2023-12-31 I hope you can salvage something, what a cool plant! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
