# Hey y’all, it’s me again so I had a quick question for y’all as of…

_Posted by PlantMan on 2024-07-11_

Hey y’all, it’s me again so I had a quick question for y’all as of now Angie, my manjula photos,has been put down so that her nodes can touch the dirt and hopefully grow roots. Should I trim the leaves that are older and let the new leaves take over or leave the old leaves where they are. since I put all these down to the ground like this should I do some pruning so it starts stimulating growth again or just leave as is l for now?

Thank you in advanced

I would not trim healthy leaves. They are part of the photosynthesis process. Plus, you are trying to grow roots. Trimming the leaves may focus the plant to grow replacement leaves with less focus on growing new roots, is my guess.

Thank you. I didn’t even think about that 🙈

Keep the soil moist. If it dries out, it stunts the roots and won’t grow. I tried doing this and I let it dry out for too long. That mistake hurt the vine so I ended up chopping and propping what I could salvage and putting the cuttings in water.
