So sorry your hubby isn't feeling well. Hope that's not the case for long!
Yes, a definite root! There is definitely more to those plants than it looked like in the first pics, plenty of mass for propagation. Don't you just love that bright color on the new growth!? Between that and the pretty pink spots, such beautiful plants!
I think I do want to cut the tip off of mine soon, to see if that will inspire it to grow more than one new tip from the lower nodes left on the "stump." I'm stuck on the idea of it climbing up/attaching to some kind of support though, so it will be a small piece that is removed. The alternative is a more full-looking pot of shorter pieces. Both are worthy, just a matter of one's current desires and ideas for experimentation.
