Cut the bottom inch off, apply rooting powder and put in quick draining soil or perlite mix. Wait for rooting and hope for the best!

Yes, more water over time should fill it in.

Awsome thank you! I put it in water for today , maybe tomorrow, then will pot it?

Yes, and rooting powder will help to accelerate the growth but is not necessary. I have most of my cactus and succulent babies in a pot together until they're big enough for their own.
