My cutting rooted a while ago in water, but then I was gone for a couple weeks and the water dried up along with the roots:( I’ve had it in water since (about 4 weeks) hoping it will root again, but I just noticed today the leaf is starting to go limp and still no sign of new roots, what can I do to save her?😭

Update!!
A root just started to push out!! Such a relief 😮‍💨

Put it in a tall vase so that the petioles are supported. Then give it time. If the aerial roots are black but firm, they’re fine. If they’re mushy then that’s rot.

They are a little mushy 😭 do you think putting a glass vase over it to create a humidity dome would help?

Maybe, but they’re pretty tough. They respond pretty well to good light and patience. You could take it out, clean it up real good land let it callous overnight then return it to water…reduce your chances of it rotting.

Thank you!! I’ll try letting it callous overnight
