I need help please, this is my mom’s Queen of the night cactus. It’s been rooting for about 2 years now. It flew off my desk today due to some wind when it wasn’t even windy out, heartbreaking… Please can someone tell me if the leaf will heal back or if I should cut it? I’m referring to the huge leaf leaning.. The stem that runs through the leaf isn’t fully snapped but the leaf dangles without any pull to keep standing. Should I pot it in a nutrient rich mix now 94 keep it in water to see if it will heal? It has always been this one large leaf and an older one that is strong but very damaged. If I cut the large dangling leaf in half down to the damage will more leaves grow from that one or is that means for failure.. I really have no clue and just need some help please, anyone.. the mother plant is extremely old, I want to save this baby..

      I have since potted it into a nutrient rich chunky soil mix. I also put a bamboo stick in there to hold the leaf straight up. That is all I can do now 😭 praying she will heal up and be able to stand on her own again one day 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you very much for your comment 🫂

    That should do it as soon as it gets acclimated you will see shoots everywhere

    Hi, These guys are very easy to root. Don’t stress. You can just put it in soil or moss and water well and it’ll grow but it needs to be in full sun if you can. They get very thin in lower light and it’s harder to keep alive.

      Here’s a stem that gets shade on my plant.

      Here’s a stem exposed to full sun. Notice how firm the leaf is
