In the past 4 years, we've "killed" it a number of times in a number of ways, only to have the plant redeem us after we place a few of the green leaf tips (3-4"+) into the soil. They rooted and grew healthy new plants. Just make sure the base is clear of rotted material. I imagine some would say to let the cut air dry for a few days, but we didn't do this. Good luck. | |
