Baja_Costero said: Yes, it can be planted. Use a relatively small pot (like 6 inches/15cm or less, wider than deep, with holes at the bottom). Bury only the very bottom of the stem (more or less the brown part) and nothing above that. Maybe put a rock or two on either side strategically to help keep the stem upright while it is rootless.
Any decent potting soil can be used if you mix it with an equal volume of pumice, perlite, or gritty equivalent (but not fine sand or vermiculite). Wait a week to water. Do not overwater at the beginning, because it will take weeks for roots to sprout and get big enough to properly absorb water.
I wouldn't worry about the black spots.
The more light, the better if this is an indoor plant. Right in front of your sunniest southerly facing window would be ideal.
