# First time propagating - So my longest time baby - Groot, lucky…

First time propagating -

So my longest time baby - Groot, lucky bamboo - officially died. I tried everything possible to save him, but this morning I came home after getting iff of work to find his main stalk squishy, yellow and discolored.

I did, however, snip off the smallest piece that looked like the best part of the plant, and I have repotted him into an organic indoor potting mix. The mix was in the garage (COLD) so I poured really warm water into the mix and made sure it was evenly dispersed by mixing it in a ziploc bag, then put the piece I had into the soil. I did some research and, calling back to growing plants from seeds in gradeschool, managed to get a plastic bag over and around the pot so he could have some humidity in a humidity lacking house with some small holes to still get air, and I put a wet paper towel in with it to add moisture to the air.

I did all that this morning, and I'm currently at my job on nightshift, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Am I doing this right?
