So it looks like I might be under watering a bit the leaves are curing back. Going to up my watering schedule! See if I can get them back to normal.
Cutting 1:
The plant that had surgery above seems to be doing ok!
hopefully no rot underneath...
Cutting 2:
Cutting 2 was falling over so I decided to let some of the soil "fall out and prop him back up." I snuck a peak... he has no soil roots yet...
and it looks like the cutting ends are pocked. At least he's still alive!
@chantellelouise I promise I'll keep updating until my cuttings form beautiful full plants or die by my black thumb! Hope your situation resolves.
