This plant is dying and I was wondering if I still can propagate the two stems that are still alive. The only thing is I have never propagated anything before and I want to know where I should cut the stem, if I need to dry it out or if I need to transfer it into water. Hope someone can help me:)🙏

How wet would you say it is??

#### Varenna replied on 2025-01-10

The soil is very dry

Yes, you can still prop anything that looks healthy with a node. Cut just below a node, ideally use some rooting powder, and pop it in moss or soil. You don't have to water prop, but also an option. Only put water enough to cover the node, and change it every 1-2 weeks

Um what’s a node

Thank you so much, just to double check because I usually kill my propagations, is this sufficient? The water isn’t too high, just enough to cover where I cut

It looks okay. And as long as you have a node at the end they should be okay. Sometimes water just isn't the best for a person's house. You could also try popping them in wet perlite or moss
