Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI have a boat lily that due to poor sunlight/soil/watering grew very very leggy, and now have a looong stalk and then really great life at the end. It is struggling to support itself! I can see a little tiny shoot forming right at the bottom of the stalk, but no signs of new growth in the majority of the stalk. Can i cut off the top and replant it in the same pot with the leggy stalk and both sections will survive? Whats the best way to do this?

You can attempt to root the top. Only take just the tip for rooting. About 2-4 inches will do. Put this in its own container, though.
Now, you will be left with a leggy stem. Cut this to just above that new shoot. That will be your new apical stem.
Here are some articles that will help:
