Help! My favorite life-form is dying!

[Deja Q]

My Easter Cactus. I took a large cutting (about 24 leaves) to transplant it. It's been 2 weeks now and it is slowly dying and not recovering.

The smaller cutting, that I accidentally knocked off (9 leaves) is thriving.

What can I do to save the larger cutting?

Thanks!!

1. Possibly some rooting hormone (Vitamin B1)?

That ought to stimulate it to put down some roots.

Greenhouse ought to have it.

2. you HAVE to let the cut completely heal over,completely dry before U plant

it.. if you plant the cut wet the plant will die.. and even if you let it scar over dry and plant it and keep it really wet it will also die
