This is terrible 😩 she just came off of the plant, so I put her in water in a vase. Is that a good idea? Will she grow roots? Or should I put her in some soil?

These have been easy to propagate in my experience! Not much of a stem to go off on this one, but I think it’s worth a shot. I’ve tested water and soil and had success with both… maybe straight to soil so that you don’t have to help it transition twice?

I'm sorry but when I saw this I started literally laughing out loud! Oh this has happened to me!!! I stick mine in water, PANICKED, and she made a full recovery🙂
