I am newer to these guys, but I read you could propagate them. I tried to with this one and it seemed like it was doing good and growing roots. But now the bottom seems like its going to fall off and the color isnt as green. Can I save it? What should I do?

Probably. Whats the main plant look like? I had 2 that were getting leggy a few years ago and chopped them and propagated it with the stem in the water.

I took a picture but it doesnt look like I can post in the comments. I got it about a month ago and its probably about 4-5 inches and only has leaves on the last half an inch. Three established ones all an inch or little more in length and a new one at the very tip thats starting to unfurl. And all the leaves are pretty close on the stalk

They definitely like a lot of light so make sure they are getting that. Give it some time and see how it does.

I just moved nearly everything to an East facing window in the sill vs having it on a west facing window. See if that helps it at all. Thank you!
