Depends on how hard she pulled on the plant. If it separated a lot of its foundation root then no it probably won’t survive. Any clearer image of what you are dealing with?

Ty hope that shows more

I’m not completely sure. 50-50. If it starts changing coloration or turning brown it probably won’t come back.

Maybe tie it upright and see if that’ll help.

Only thing i can find for now to keep it straight up

That’s perfect as long as it stays upright helps strengthening the base and root so it doesn’t separate anymore than it did. Now only time will tell. Goodluck 🤞🏼

Tying it up sounds great. I would also add to be vigilant, and as soon as you see it’s not going to make it you can chop it into pieces to prop (if you’re interested in doing that 😁)

Yes ty

Putting it straight up like that?
