# So my philodendron white wizard had major root rot (yay 😕) and I had…

_Pubblicato da Julia il 2024-04-28_

So my philodendron white wizard had major root rot (yay 😕) and I had to cut all of the root system off. Can I just stick this in water and it will re root? Or should I take a couple of leaves off and go for the two nodes that are higher up?

Let it callus over and if you’re able to, just have this section of the stem in the water (i don’t know the proper name for this section)

Ok thank you!!

If you do see issues with the lower leaves then cut them off but worth a try to save them all (:

For higher success rate, if there’s another node higher up that you can also cut off and have a couple leaves attached to I’d do tha!
