Help😰

Got this baby just over a week ago and was letting her sit and acclimate but upon checking on her today she had basically disintegrated from easily half way down her stem🥺 I pulled off as many salvageable leaves as I could to try and prop them. There isn’t much left of her stem that hasn’t rotted so do you guys think if I chop her under the browned portion do you think I could prop her head too? #GregGang #SucculentSquad #Propagation #sadplants

You can try but do so in a separate gray or dish than you do the leaves. Rot moves fast and the last thing you want is for it to reach those leaves if you want them to have a chance of growing.

I would contact the seller. You also did the right thing trying to prop the leaves. Once they callous you can lay them on soil and mist them. My hubby says the leaves laying down look like a graveyard 🪦 😆

@Jilliebeanstalk I was considering that but truthfully I got her for maybe $5 at the grocery store so I’m not optimistic that there will be much that can be done but still worth a shot! Worst case I’ve got lots of possible propagations out of it so fingers crossed at least one will survive the winter! Definitely see your hubbies point on the graveyard thing xD my prop tray definitely resembles one😂😂
