Oh wow - sorry to see that! I had the same thing happen with my PVN.

You have to cut away all of the rot. Slice off just above the black area to see what you are dealing with. Then take more slices off until you get to fresh stem. This is what mine looked like - terrible -

Mine was a goner. I did not think to try propagating some of the leaves. You still have some nice leaves on there, so I would give that a try. You will probably have to remove some to do your slicing anyway. There's nothing to lose in trying!

Good luck and I do hope you find healthy tissue after a slice or two.

Thank you! I will give it a shot but I'm going to propagate by leaves also.

This pot is from last year when I just used MG soil, I've been meaning to repot it.

May I ask, what is PVN, is it pachyveria? Is that what I have?

Thanks

Sorry - it's an Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg. I had done the same thing. I used MG cactus and succulent soil. Waaay too water retentive for my soggy summers.

I don't think yours is Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg - that's what Crenda's plant was. Not 100% sure what it is.

I would just cut all the rot off and take off a few leaves and wait for the stem to heal. Then plant it. You might be able to use a rooting hormone?

I'd skip the rooting hormone & just sprinkle some dry cinnamon on the cut stem where you'd cut off the rot & as well as on the underside of the remaining rosette. It's a natural anti-fungal & used to prevent further rot. Good luck.

Thank you all, I'll post update if it works
