Myrmecophytum saving?

I have an ant plant (Myrmecophytum selebecium) that has gone kind of rotten on the inside. I only really noticed this now that the leaves got wilty sadly. However, there are green parts on the outside of the main bulb of the plant that arenโ€™t wilty, is there any way I can cut these to propagate, or do ant plants not take well to that?

New Bloom

Iโ€™m in FarNorCal. This plant bloomed one month earlier last year. I just moved my other epiphyllums outside, to hang under my apple trees. Iโ€™m sure weโ€™ll have a couple more cold nights until June, but Iโ€™m rolling the dice.

Urgent help - Disocactus cutting

Hi everyone, new here and fairly new to epiphytes (only experience is with a few Nepenthes x since about a year, but completely new to epiphytic cacti / Hylocereae). I am in Australia.

I have two cuttings of a mystery Disocactus x, that Iโ€™ve let cure for more than two weeks (possibly even three weeks - one was a younger cutting and the tip wilted so I snipped it off and let it cure again).

The media I have ready for them (purchased in ignorance - these cuttings were a surprise) is this: https://www.seasol.com.au/products/seasol-seed-raising-cutting-potting-mix/ which seems to have a lot of large bark pieces in it (people were complaining about this particular one in reviews that itโ€™s unsuitable for seed raising). I assume this mix is PH neutral but have been unable to find information on it and donโ€™t have a meter (yet).

โ€ฆplus a whole lotta perlite.

I also have some horticultural sand standing by.

I suspect this is not an ideal media mix, so my questions are:

  1. Am I best to just plant in this straight away rather than wait any longer? Or is it really important I obtain the correct mix from the start?

  2. If I do root in this, will I be able to / should I repot in a few weeks or months in more appropriate media?

  3. Should I use rooting hormone, and if so how? I have purchased Indole-3-butyric acid powder.

Grateful for any adviceโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s very important to me that these particular cuttings survive as theyโ€™re from my late grandmotherโ€™s garden which no longer exists.

Help diagnose?

I have some new leaves from a cutting but just noticed some spots. Would anyone know whatโ€™s going on with this new leaf? Is this something to be concerned about?

Thank you in advance!
