Something Wrong with clone please help

I topped my biggest plant a week or two ago and put the cutting in some water. The leaves look great but the bottom part where it has been cut and sitting in water is very soft and squishy like it's rotting or something and there are no roots.

I don't know what to do should I cut the soft squishy part off or leave it and see what happens? Like I said the leaves look good but I'm still afraid that something is wrong. Any suggestions would be appreaciated thank you.

cut off the rot, dip in rooting powder, plant in moist soil. water cloning is only hit or miss unless you're aerating.

I'm going to go get the stuff to aerate the water tomorrow. I'll go cut it and dip it in powder now. I tested some methods on some random weeds around the house using just water and diping them in powder both methods worked.

If you topped your plant and are trying to clone it you must remember that the further up you go the harder it is to clone due to the lack of hormones.
