Help!

My #Euphorbia's main stem is rotting!
How do I propagate this to try and salvage some of him?

Ohhh no😭 basically without drainage and with the rotten stem, it’s holding too much moistuοΏΌre at the roots. Classic fungal/rot scenario 😭 if this was my plant, I would remove it from the pot and cut back all the rotted area, re-pot in a pot with highly draining soil, lots of drainage in the pot. You might be able to save the offspring, but the brown part has to go. οΏΌ

OK I zoomed in and I feel like you definitely need to get it out of that pot and put it in a pot with tons of drainage holes.

From what I've read you need protective gloves and cuts each one of the "arms" off and they can be propagated. I would give it a google search on the exact details though. Good vibes ur way 🀞
