You can uproot the whole thing and stick it in some water and it’ll grow roots so quick! I took a cutting of mine and plopped it in some water. 2 months later it’s got awesome thick roots and a new leaf 😍 hope this helps

Once it gets some more stability you can plant it back in soil too

Perfect thank you so much! Do I chop the black part off or leave it?

Maybe put some support on the leaf
