Broken Haworthia attenuata (?)


Question
I have a very small Haworthia attenuata (I believe) that has been dropped and had the root snapped. It is about two inches high from the base with its many leafs (?) shooting in all different directions. There is about a half inch of root (plant material below the soil) still attached.
Is there any hope in saving it?

Thanks in advance for any help

Answer
Hello Brian,
You might have to re-root your plant, as the current roots will rot and grow bacteria. Make a straight clean cut at the base to remove the root material. Here is a web site I made that shows you a brief instruction on how to root or re-root a succulent.
