Is there any saving these? Do I need to cut it somewhere?

Is it rotting? If you’re just worried about the crispy leaves, mine does that when it dries out. They just have to constantly stay wet, they are thirsty

Do you change the water daily? If I were you I would just start from scratch. Even if it does end up working out the rotting leaves and stem would contribute to health problems later. Hope this helps

Soooo I took it out of the ground 😏  
Not sure if I need to cut it to prop? Or how to help it but I want to keep it. I can put it in soil. Or cut and try again?

If it's been in water I'd leave it in water. Clean the glass, change the water, wash anything off the bulb that's mushy or rotting, cut any super dead leaves that arent contributing. And put it back in.

If it’s mushy, root rot!
