Q.How do I save my plant

Zone Willowick, Ohio 44095 | Anonymous added on August 31, 2020 | Answered

I just inherited this very large plant and I broke a significantly large stem. How do I save it. Can it be just replanted or do I have to place in water to reroot it.

It's hard to tell whether the plant is broken or just bent. Here are two articles that should help. The first explains how to propagate this plant - you may need to do that. However, if the plant is simply bent, it may be repairable.
