Maybe you can grow more roots by putting the base of the plant in water.

It’s hard to tell bc it’s a bit blurry but it almost looks rotten where it detached. Is it squishy? I’ve been googling and I’m not sure you can propagate by leaves but you could try to cut a few and see what happens? You could also try to regrow the roots, if I’m wrong and it’s not rotted maybe it’ll sprout new ones. I do think you’ll want to treat it like a succulent though and let it callous over first.

it is squishy! it looks rotten at the bottom, but its been underwatered more than overwatered :(

I had a plant recently where the base was rotting from under watering; so that could be possible. However, I don’t know how to propagate your plant.

This happened to mine, just popped right off and was definitely stem rot. As far as I’m aware there’s no saving them at this point.  
I had a lovely funeral for her in the back alley bins
