Question
My dumb Cane has rotted between its root portion and the stock but this time the plant is still green and I was wondering if there was any kind of way to replant if possible?

Answer
Alex,

Make sure the pot you are using has a large drain hole and a drain tray under it. The pot should be no larger diameter than the plant is wide. If it is tooo large it will just rot more. Never over pot tropical plants, they prefer to be slightly root bound. Treat the plant as though it is a cutting. Go to a garden center and pick up a bottle of rooting hormone, enough fresh potting soil to nearly fill the pot and a bag of extra perlite. Mix the soil and the perlite at a ratio of 2 parts soil to 1 part perlite and fill the pot. Water the soil so it is all moist then empty the drain tray of any excess water. Then cut off the stem of the plant at the bottom at an angle to make a smooth cut and dip it into the rooting hormone or put some rooting hormone in a plastic bag and dip the stem in that. Then use a stick or your finger and make a hole in the soil the size of the stem and insert the stem in the soil. Firm the soil arould it.

Place you new plant in a bright location but not sunny. It should grow new roots in 4 to 6 weeks. Follow the following instructions on waterings:

Do not use self watering pots, they keep the soil too wet and cause the roots to rot. After you water you should always go back in a half hour and empty excess  water out of the drain tray. If it is too heavy to pick up you can empty it with a turkey baster. Do not water it again until 2/3rds of the soil in the pot is dry. The best way to tell that is to insert a long bamboo skewer like you use for shish kabobs into the soil cutting it off 1/2 inch above the soil surface. When you think the plant needs water pull the skewer out and check it. If it is only wet 1/3 up from the bottom you can water it. If it is wet 1/2 way up let it go a few more days. This lets you know you are not overwatering and rotting the roots. Tropical houseplants are not swamp plants and cannot stand constantly wet soil. That can rot the roots in as little as a month. Roots need to be moist and dry alternately so the roots have a chance to breath between waterings. If you have more questions write  again.  Good luck.
