Hi everyone,

I'm sorry for all of the pictures, I thought one post for basically one question was better than 3 different posts! Let me know if I'm wrong!

1. Got this plant from (L's), the stems were covered pretty high so I wasn't able to see any of the discoloration till I rinsed off the roots. Guess I should check better next time. I knew it had issues, but....

Am I thinking correctly that these should probably just be propagated. And if so, should I cut above the damaged root? Or just do the leaf propagation?

I know the first one on the left probably needs to be cut higher.. Maybe decapitate the top? These have very little roots, is this normal?

2. Did I waste my $1.00 thinking I could save this Chocolate Soldier? Or are his battle wounds too severe? Not sure what his partner is, I found him in another pot. He's got maybe 1 centimeter of living stem?

3. These poor guys... The top middle ones stem has some kind of damage. If a close up is needed I can proved one. I'm thinking it just needs to be cut off? The pups that are lower have roots growing out of them. And I found a few roots growing out of the stem on the 2nd one from the right. There are also a few spots, I realize now this probably isn't the best picture.. If this is the case, I can do better..

Thank you for any help you can provide...
