Salvageable?

Started as a healthy - albeit top heavy - #Echeveria. The plant keeled over and split in half. Did a nice 90 degree for a clean cut. Is there any way to salvage? I put the top half in water. #PlantTherapy

Nah, leave him be and he'll start to grow babies on the stem. Literally just put it in the sunniest spot you can and forget about it for a few months.
@StoutBahiagrass Also, leave the top half out on the counter overnight until the cut part callus' over and plant it directly into soil to grow roots.
Oh no!!
@Charli3Plant thanks! I put him under a grow light!
@princesspitstop - just saw this message. Was in water overnight, pulled it out and wrapped in a towel. Should I recut stem?
@StoutBahiagrass Yes Cut the stem at a 45-degree angle. It increases the surface area for root development. I sent you a picture of what it's supposed to look like. ๐Ÿ˜Š It's going to be ok. You haven't messed anything up. ๐Ÿ‘
This is so helpful!!! Thank you
