I would cut several of those stems and put them inside in water to grow new roots then repot in several weeks.

### Holly commented on 2026-09-02

Quick question - doesn’t it just need water?

#### Karzdan replied on 2026-09-02

This could be the result of root rot. They need to inspect the roots. If they are rotting. Cut it up and propagate.

#### Holly replied on 2026-09-02

Ah right - so it does appear dehydrated, but this could just because the root system can’t adequately take up water. Thanks!

#### Ann replied on 2026-09-02

Yes i think this is the problem

### Karzdan commented on 2026-09-02

Grab the little babies on the leaves and sprinkle them in a new pot.

Definitely sounds a bit too hot for it. Try to move the bigger pot to somewhere a bit cooler. Then, just to be safe, try propagating it so if the mother plant dies, you still have plenty healthy pups as backup. Also probably propagate the pups inside. If the momma’s struggling with the heat, the pups definitely will.

Thank you all will try everything 🙏👍
