can somebody help me with my money tree please. the stem is green at the top but halfway all the way down its brown and a bit squishy to touch. what are your recos? im not sure if the brown stem means root rot or not.

I would chop it above the squishy part and repot it from there. You’ll need a wayyy smaller pot tho like 4 inches max. I don’t have any experience rooting these so I’m not sure if water propagating or potting it into soil right away would be best - maybe someone else has advice on that

yes im not too sure how it’ll do with water propagating. thanks for getting back to me :)
