# So, the first two pictures show two plants. They USED to be one plant…

_Posted by Bret on 2025-08-01_

So, the first two pictures show two plants. They USED to be one plant And she snapped in half and I put the leafy one in a terrarium that I recently had to tear down and decided to put her like that with the driftwood and moss. Meanwhile her spindly mother was doing nothing but being a stalk until about a month or two ago, and she's got these new leaves and, I'm guessing, aerial roots. My question is.........what can I do with the mom? Should I get her a tall tall moss pole and wind her lower part around it and then secure the area with the aerial roots or should I do something else? Every picture I've seen of a Florida ghost doesn't have that like.....spindly, tree bark type bottom, they're all very viney so I'm not sure what to do with her to support her best I can. Any advice would be appreciated ✌🏼
