I reported this and took the baby off. I'm concerned I took the baby too soon. Is there a way to propagate this?

You can dip it in some rooting powder to help speed up the root development process. I use Bonide’s Rooting Hormone Powder. Dip it in the rooting powder and place it in a small pot. Water it when the soil completely dries out, and check on the root development every 15-30 days until it’s got secondary roots, then water as often as the mother plant. Hope this helps!

Yes thank you! I will do that!
