Yikes I don't know if she can be saved, there really isn't any root system there.

### Karen commented on 2026-07-28

Yeah :(

this is salvageable! cut off anything brown or mushy. get a small glass cup (sometimes i use those little shot bottles from gas stations 😆) and HOVER it over a bit of water, don't let it touch. the ambient humidity will stimulate root growth. cover with a humidity dome if you please, it's not necessary but it can make it go faster.

She's so tiny 😆 the leaves look very healthy, so it has a good chance. Keep air humidity high and keep it as stable as possible
