brown leaves while re rooting plant.

Question

my plant broke off and I put it in water to reroot so I can replant. The leaves are turning brown and yellow and limped?

Answer 1

I'm sorry to hear it broke. In the short term, your leaves have no roots to feed them or provide water. As a result they die. Remove most of the leaves to reduce the demand for water. Change the water when it begins to get cloudy.
