Meine Hunde haben einen meiner Weihnachtskakteen umgeworfen und dieses Stück ist abgebrochen. Das Ende ist etwas ausgetrocknet. Kann ich irgendetwas tun, damit es weitergeht? Der Rest der Pflanze ist in Ordnung, ich möchte sie nur nicht wegwerfen, wenn sie eine Chance hat.
Danke!

from my experience, the piece that has that pointy bit will not grow roots, dispose of that leaf and prop the others. twist gently and pull to not cause that point in the others.
I’ve propped several that plopped off the same way! Just put it in water or toss it back in the pot with the rest and find out!
I usually just stick it in the dirt with the rest of the plant and it grows.
Yeah these prop in dirt super easily.
Heck yeah, you have 7 new plants there! Each leaflet will grow a new plant, just add dirt and sunlight
Yep! I recently tried the trick of putting it in a glass jar with a few drops of water for a couple of weeks. Creates a mini terrarium. Worked like a charm. Best of luck!
Yeah it will I knocked mine over broke a bunch of it off cause I’m a dummy. Anyways popped them in soil after forgetting them in the counter for like a week now keeping soil moist watering and I’m seeing roots and it’s taking not all are Taking but most are . That looks way better than mine so yes it will. Give it time it takes a minute .
I got a bunch of broken off leaves from the grocery store last month, stuck them all in dirt and they all took root! That little end bit will need to come off, but the bottom part of a leaf will root just fine. I used regular succulent soil.
Just an FYI, it’s a thanksgiving cactus
Thanks everyone!
I’ll take off the bottom bit and throw it back in the pot.
Yes, I just propped one in water. Mine took a few weeks to establish roots but it definitely did! Good luck
I would cut across the base of the leaf above the torn one. Let it dry for a day or three. Then poke a hole in succulent soil, dip root hormone on the cut edge, put it in the soil. Ignore for weeks and weeks. Trickle water the oil if the leaf flops over and the soil is dry.
FWIW – 3-4 years ago, my younger cat jumped up to ‘hug’ my Thanksgiving cactus, knocking the pot off the stand and snapping 1/3 of the stems. It looked like SHIT. You’d never know it happened to it. I poked holes in the soil, dunked the broken ends in the rooting hormone, and pushed the stems in the holes. Didn’t water it for a month or so, as the soil was damp from an earlier watering on Crash Day. These are amazingly resilient plants.
ABSOLUTELY. You’ve got roots in multiple places already. Get it in some moist dirt and it’ll be fine.
