| I moved this post from another forum, so I hope this isn't breaking any forum policies or something...
My pachira has rotted at the trunk, and I am trying to salvage the (slightly yellowing) top. The stem has a slightly yellow colouring near the tip, and it only has one new leaf, which is now dying, I think. Can I root the trunk that has not rotted? Or should I try with the green part with some leaf scars? Thank you,

| Try the green part. I would normally suggest trying to root the leaf, too, but if it's dying then it won't work. Josh |

| Ok, thanks! Right when I bought it, I actually did try a leaf. It had white things on the end which I now assume were roots, but I threw it out mistaking it for some fungus or disease! I'll keep the trunk, maybe it'll root, too. A. |
