Update, Wtf is going on here? I’ve never seen Zz roots these are squishy and very plump. Is this from overwatering? 😲😓🪴

OK I’ll cut them till there’s healthy stem. Should I propagate them in potting soil per light or water?

I’ll try it a couple different ways, I hope this works, any tips? I’m leaning so much thank you.🤍🪴

Same thing happened to me and I was using a chopstick to test the moisture. I cut mine down and repotted. I’m propagating the stems in water which does take months but I like to see the roots grow. I only water mine every 2-3 months now and I’m always fearful of rot again🥺

Me too I have some propagating in water and some in perlite. Good luck to us both. 🤍🪴
