You can’t really prop those… it’s best to cut if the leaf that’s rotting. Good luck 🍀

0 likesYou can prop them, but not from a leaf cutting. On their stalks under the soil there are root nodes, usually one or two beneath each leaf. They are MUCH more subtle and a bit harder to find then nodes on a plant like a pothos for example. So I would do a bit of research to figure out what you are looking for. If you can remove the rotting, and still have some stem with nodes left, then you’ll want to let it callus over for probably a week or more based on the size of your plant. Then you can put it in your medium of choice. I usually use water because I like to monitor the root growth. They can take a very long time to root.
