Esme is 2 ft 7 inches as of today. I’m considering taking a couple of cuttings off the bottom because when they get long enough to add to the miss pole it will be too crowded to get them close enough for them to reach it. If I do should I water propagate or put them a couple nodes deep in some soil. I always used to water propagate any lithos I had.

I also changed out her moss today. What I used originally retains no moisture and has no substrate. Old vs new.
