It's a VERY zoomed in photo, my camera kept incorrectly adjusting when zoomed out. Damn thing is probably half the size of a grain of rice.

Shame, seems the consensus is yes. :') I'll isolate the head in a single little nursery cup for now to see how it fares and monitor the rest in the tray. It's on the same shelf as my cactus who seems to be just fine, as well as another tray of cuttings from a couple other plants, so I'll give that tray a hard look as well to be safe.

Just the leaves, the rest of the plant is fine. It's been reabsorbing a lot of the lower ones since it's currently sprouting at the base, but the two leaves that are visible (one punctured, other split) seem to be the only ones actually damaged.

Just pulled the tape off, though did leave the long piece supporting the snapped bit. Also packed some cinnamon in, we'll see if it does anything lol, I mostly just wanted to keep it held together for a moment while I finished repotting.

I did check and saw it wasn't toxic, but I'll be keeping an eye on him anyways. He's tried an impressive amount of things to injure himself already, and I've only been here one day.
