You can pot it up without roots but you shouldn't water until it has new roots. If you pot it up just wait until you see new growth before watering. It looks pretty normal for a beheaded stem.

Yeah the main reason I removed it was because I had watered it and I figured if I removed it immediately it wouldn't rot. I think I'll just keep it out until it shows roots this time so that I know exactly when it's okay to water. Thanks for assuring me that it's normal! This is the first time I've don't this and I've been very paranoid about the safety of this plant.

Hi Kaelyn

Take a look at the following thread started by Rina for help with beheading succulents. :)

In your original post you said: ..."Afterward I stuck it in a pot with soil and it was only in there for a day before I read that you should wait for roots before potting"...

I think it may be a typo (and you mentioned watering in your next post), but the advice should read: ...wait for roots (to start growing) before watering - not potting.

I hope you don't feel I am picking on you, just wanted to make sure.

You are correct in assuming that's what I meant. I should have read through it a couple of times to make sure it was less confusing. Thanks for pointing it out!
