Don't give up on em! I accidentally broke a stem and all I had was a dixie cup and some soil. I wet it down, stuck it in and was sad when the next day she was all withered and laying down. I kept her moist for about a week and one day I came in and she was standing at attention. A day later I had new growth on top, and I think I just may make her a mother(Snowcap) because of her will to survive.
