    That leaf doesn’t have any nodes. So no, it probably won’t survive. It may grow roots but it will be a “Zombie leaf”. It won’t grow into a larger plant

      Yeah normally when you propagate you want several nodes and a few healthy leaves. Also when you do propagate have about an inch or two at the bottom free of any leaves so those roots can grow.
