My well meaning child, in an attempt to prove they were responsible, absolutely drowned this. Do I have any hope of saving her?

    Cut it up above the rotten part. Let it callus and propagate it again. It should be ok

    I’m not 100% sure it is but give it a dip in some diluted peroxide, trim the tit, and hope for the best.

    Unfortunately I had an albo cut that did this and she perished :/

    It looks like the node is rotted through, so I don’t think your chances are super high. Maybe try cutting off the rotted parts and re-root the remaining node? I’ve never cut into a node like that before, though.

    I’d give it a go. I managed to root an albo stick that was very rotted this year(posts are on here of curious). I just cut off the rot, the leaf aborted but it’s now got three very juvenile leaves, thankfully still got a fair amount of variegation.

    There’s more living plant there than otherwise. I’d put it in a half and half hydrogen peroxide /distilled or filtered water bath for about two hours and swish it around a lot. You might be amazed how much of that comes off. Then start rooting again.

    Since there’s no other node – the chances of surviving are pretty slim. Cutting it off isn’t really an option (that’s the normal fix if it hasn’t overtaken the entire node).

    You could try to soak it in a pretty heavy dose of peroxide (1:1 ratio with water). It’ll basically be a hail Mary, but I think it’s the best shot considering how high up the rot reached.

    Unfortunately no because the only viable node is rotten. Sorry 🙁

    You should buy your children a small one..
    And show them how to take care of it..
