Hi everyone last night I was moving some rocks around and I think I may have accidentally cut his stem . Should I leave it or completely cut it? Tia

Not sure how this happened but simply replant it on or between rocks

I would cut it and let attach to new rock. If you leave the stem part it may regrow, may not. Clean cuts are less likely to infect.
