# Can this be saved? I’ve had it sitting in water in a jar for a couple…

_Geplaatst door Frank op 2024-01-07_

Can this be saved? I’ve had it sitting in water in a jar for a couple weeks after root rot set in, and it keeps going downhill. Wondering if I should take a clipping (and if so, how?), or just let it die? Any feedback appreciated!

Chop it above the first leaf and pull the leaf off. Strap it to a moss pole or put it on top of a moss bed and keep it moist. The nodes will produce roots and it will recover
