Money plant kicking the bucket?

Money plant kicking the bucket?

Was gifted a money plant many years ago, has always done fine, kept inside in indirect light and watered occasionally (every couple weeks in summer every 3 in winter). This year leaves have wilted and dropped without new growth to replace it. As far as I can tell we haven't done anything different. Will appreciate any advice here as she's been with us a while and don't want to lose her now!

Marjoram division wilting

Divided an established clump of marjoram about a week ago (it was 2-3 years old and growing healthily). Put the two halves in the same pot in the same spot, watered well and kept it at least most after that.

However, it started wilting immediately even though I was keeping it fairly moist. Have I killed it?

Hardwood cuttings - hope left?

Took hardwood cuttings of a cherry tree (right) and almond tree (left and back) last autumn/ winter. Kept them moist, covered with a plastic bag and in the dark in a shed over winter. I forgot to remove flower buds so I did get some buds flowering on the almond in the spring which I removed.

Come this spring one cherry cutting and two almond cuttings had at least one leaf, so I was hopeful it was successful. Those leaves dried and dropped off not too long after. And no new ones seen since.

I don't know if the cuttings are still alive or if they've just failed. I haven't checked for roots yet as I'm worried about disturbing them, but assumed the leaf growth meant they had rooted and started growing. Should I just leave them longer? Check for roots and repot the good ones?

Spring onions stalling after potting up

Propagated some spring onions from the offcuts - sat them in water on a sunny windowsill for I think one or two weeks, had at least 1cm root growth and plenty of rapid top growth while in water. I potted them in soil, put them outside and have been reasonably attentive about watering them... been a couple weeks or so and growth has definitely slowed. Tbh not sure if they've even really grown since potting them.

Did I pot them too early? The guide I read said they should be potted in soil after a couple of weeks. Or do they just normally slow down a bit after that first growth spurt?
