I’ve stuck my damaged leaf in soil and it rooted just fine

Awesome! Thank you, how did it take to root?

I left it untouched for about 2 weeks and then pulled lightly to see if there was resistance.. there was and it was still alive and greenish. Now it’s growing like crazy. I don’t give up on anything till it’s brown and lifeless. I love this plant because I can neglect it and it appreciates it 😂
