Awww that's too bad, I'm sorry that happened! Yes you can definitely save those pieces that broke off. Let them sit out for a week or so, to callous over. You can then put them directly into some cactus or succulent soil and they should root for you! Choose a small pot, 2-3 inches with drainage holes. Place them in a bright and warm spot 💚
