Decapitate it - cut off everything above the soil (except maybe a little 2mm nub, but even that's not necessary) and give it light, keep the soil damp to wet, and don't let the tray of water it's in drop below about half full (which should be about 1/2 inch).
In a month or two, you will probably have a plantlet (or plantletS). Like Not a Number said, they grow back from roots.
I did this with my Lowe's Adelae a month ago and I now have a little Adelae plantlet about the size of two pieces of rice, and it's growing steadily.
There is hope! Hallelujah! It's in a terrarium with over 200 watts of sunlight, the water level is always high, and the humidity is great. Do those conditions sound right? If not, please tell me so that I may wack myself with a metal poll repetitively.
Thanx!
