I could use some advice/help on what to do to save a recently acquired Thanksgiving Cactus!
It's old and has a very woody stem - however it wasn't trimmed or well kept. The entire stem is split, it seems dead and dry - (even hollow in some parts). All of the green is wrinkled and withered. One of the thick branches is snapped and only hanging by a thread. Somehow the snapped branch has a bunch of healthy looking flowers blooming on it.
The original root system and trunk is way beyond saving and I fear the only way to get this to come back is propagation. Is it possible to propagate from the woody stem (the undamaged stem section) to keep its size or will I need to take several soft cuttings and start growing this as a small plant again?
