I just found this beauty that I mistook for Joepii and then googled it and she's a Bette Waterbury which is often confused with Joepii.
The problem is her skinny stem broke (small stem sticking out on the left)while I was fixing her support. I will be reporting with a moss pole, but wanted to get her proper support due to her very curvy and thin stem.
The small stem, poking out of the soil on the left, is where it broke. That skinny stem grew thick as it grew out. I'm not sure how it hadn't broken before. That's a lot of weight for a skinny stem. I tried readhereing with tape after it broke since it was still slightly attached. After 24 hours, the stem had fully broken and healed. I did a tug test and she has air roots connected to the thicker part of the stem, so I stuck her in the soil with some root drops.
I'm wondering I should have cleaned her off and stuck her in water instead of rebooting in soil. I'll keep an eye on her and report her in a week or move to water if she starts looking wilty. Is this my best move?
Also, bonus, she's flowering
