Looks ready for planting. I think you can probably just take that part in your hand and stick it in some fresh fast draining soils and it will prob re-root in a few weeks.
Can't say for certain but it looks like typical overwatering is what caused the fungus/ dieback issue.
Yes id even pluck some of the lower leaves off for more pups, and so you have a "stem" to put in soil ( ive had great sucess with tho not required )
Thank you both very much! So what I did now is this:
Also replaced the soil that it came in from the supermarket (which definitely was not ideal and quite slow draining) with some cactus stone soil stuff.
Should I just water it normally (and yes, definitely a bit less than before :D)? Or do anything special until it roots?
And I now have a lot of the lower leaves to try to propagate. I hope I did not pick off too much:
Will also try your bottle method for some of them. :)
No, don’t water it for a while - if you do, it may rot! It’s got enough nutrients left in the leaves and stem to subsist for quite a while while it roots.
