…. i broke him :( it was a total accident which i know can happen but i snapped off a new leaf!! is there any hope in this rooting in water?? and the mother plant growing a new growth point in its place?? this is my first of these plants and it’s only like 3 month old to me i really hope i haven’t ruined my chances and could use some advise of if water is the best or not 🤣🖤

let it callus but there’s hope! and if not, once you prop, you’ll have two of these plants! it happens. give yourself grace. 💛

thank you!! it’s now out of the water for a while! thank you so much x hope is intact 🥰

if you see it’s waterlogged, cut the tip where it’s brown and try a little trick where i seal the ends with crazy glue if it doesn’t callus. 🫣🫢 it works - sounds insane; blame pinterest lol
