I think that I have watered it way too much over the last few months and that it got some kind of root rot. It started dying off from the bottom like 2 weeks ago. Today it broke off in the middle.

Does anyone have any idea how to save my little green friend? Or is it too late?

    Yes id even pluck some of the lower leaves off for more pups, and so you have a “stem” to put in soil ( ive had great sucess with This method tho not required )

      Thank you both very much! So what I did now is this:

      Also replaced the soil that it came in from the supermarket (which definitely was not ideal and quite slow draining) with some cactus stone soil stuff.

      Should I just water it normally (and yes, definitely a bit less than before :D)? Or do anything special until it roots?

      And I now have a lot of the lower leaves to try to propagate. I hope I did not pick off too much:

      Will also try your bottle method for some of them. :)

        No, don’t water it for a while - if you do, it may rot! It’s got enough nutrients left in the leaves and stem to subsist for quite a while while it roots.
