What can I do to save this plant cutting

That is Dieffenbachia. It appears you have it in to small of a pot. When watering only use tepid water.Water only when dry to the touch. Newly re-potted plants will wilt until the roots take.

Always start new cuttings in damp soil.

Larger pot, use a thin long dowel or bamboo in middle of plant for support. And it looks like the leaves are going towards the light. Turn plant weekly.

Use Larger pot,use bamboo stick to hold it straight also the plant need to turn around after 5 to 10 days.remember the plant always follow sun light.

Before I read any comments........this plant is VERY easy to grow. Please wait for a couple weeks to RE-ROOT IN WATER and in sun light. It can grow in diffused light, and even low, low light., the leaves will become very dark. It is in the Diffenbachia family. There are different kinds. Be careful with their juices from the plant I literally cut a whole plant down with scissors in one hand and holding the plant in other......I got a swelling and itching on my left hand. It is poisonous.

Getting back to transplanting.......re-root, put in a larger pot than you have, use regular potting soil of your choice........nothing special. With ROOTS, it should take off and water it once a week, as most plants require. I turn most of my plants at least once a week, you can see the leaves reaching for the light. I TURN it as it will grown even and straight up!! I have 30 plus varieties of plants in my home......I call them my girls. I have one for over 40+ years. I have given cuttings for House warmings gifts, birthdays and Christmas, etc. They have been good to me and I love caring for them. Yesterday was their watering and caring. Just, Jungle Joanie here.

i use Root Tone when propagating plants. Dip cut end into it and plant.

This plant loves good drainage so I would put small pea gravel in the bottom of a pot. Make sure there are plenty of drainage holes at the bottom as well. I would repot with soil for succulents since it does not hold onto too much moisture. If the roots get too wet and stay soaked they may develop root rot and that's no good. Good luck. I would water once a week until water drains out from the bottom and allow for bright but not direct light from the sun.

I love my plants too. I even talk to them at times. My kids tease me that I am crazy.

I always put my cuttings in some kind of riiting powder before planting them, not always necessary but it seems to help. Like others have said new cuttings require more water at first to grow. I sometimes start them off in a separate pot and then when their established transfer to the p I want them in so I don't overwater the main plant. But yes you do need to replant your plant into a bigger pot. If you feel your bad at watering plants buy the glass globes that water for you, they can be a great timesaver.

I have put cuttings in a vase of water and they grew that way for YEARS! Definately need a support stick. I had 3 vases together in a large pot in a corner next to my window.

regarding rooting the plant, i was always told you have to root plants in a clear glass container. that's what i have done for years and it always works for me.

The only thing I do different than everyone else has suggested is: I buy heavy-duty lazy susan hardware, add a nice thick finished round 1" thick board on the top of the hardware, lay another nice finished round (the same size as the one attached to the hardware) on the floor, put the completed lazy susan on top of it, and then set my plant on top of the lazy susan. Then I have a nice, easy way of turning the pot 1/4 turn every day as I dust around the pots. This keeps my plants growing straight.

Its begging for water, bigger vase stones at the bottom and support

Hi, your Diffenbachia is more commonly known as "Dumb Cane" as it's been said that if you touch the sap of his plant your tongue, it'll swell so much as to render you literally "speechless". In other languages, reference is also made to the word dumb (mute), as in "Caña Muda" - a perfect translation...

It is actually an easy plant to care for (so easy some call it a weed).

No need for extreme light (or shade), good drainage and a bigger pot should make your plant happy... dont worry ;-)

This plant is called a Dieffenbachia Plant.

I have had many experiences with this plant. Sometimes it gets so heavy that the stalk actually snaps In half. I tried to root in water with no luck and I took the a stalk and just put it in healthy soil. I water it once a week on the same day and no more. It took a little time but then it started growing leaves out of the side of the stalk. Very healthy . Just remember to keep turning it, because it grows forward the sun. Put a stake in for support.

This happened to me several times because the plant was so healthy I had to start giving new plants away from my existing plant. Good luck !

Only thing I would do different when I put it in soil is to use cinnamon instead of Roottone.

cut stalks and place in water and then repot and plant needs to be turned every couple of days to keep it growing straight as it tends to lean towards the sunlight so turn it and it will grow straight up and if it starts to lean use a pole to hold it up as it because to top heavy as grows

I think that you need to cut right below a "nub" on the stalk.
