She fell over - should I cut off the end before rooting? It's been sitting out for the last week or so - all leaves have fallen off.

No need to cut; I would maybe rinse it with some H2O2 to make sure there are no pathogens.

I agree with @Hetty, Betsy. Better to be safe than sorry. You probably won't have much luck rooting the plant though. At least, I have no luck doing so when dormancy comes 'round. I just store mine in buckets of coarse perlite over the fall/winter months with plans to root them in the spring.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
