Legit cried before chopping down my three year old pink princess. She hit my ceiling and needed a chop. To be honest, I didn’t know what I was doing when I first got her. The goal is to prop and regrow with better soil, support, and overall care so she grows bigger and better than ever. Just had to share with people who understand. My friends all think I’m silly.
I totally get it! I recently did the same and I definitely shed a few tears! Yours is much more happy than mine was 😅 I wish you the best with your cuttings 💚
We will both need to do some spring updates! Manifesting big beautiful leaves 🥹
2 gillningar Agreed!! 💚
0 gillningarYou ladies are both strong. I'm still waiting for the pink to show up on mine. Happy propagating
Those leaves look sooo happy though!

I had one that I was waiting for years to show pink before I finally realized it wasn’t a pink princess at all (the chain store definitely lied to me). Good luck to you!!

Good luck! Be proud how tall the Mamma plant got!
1 gilla Thank you 🥹
0 gillningarThey seem happy to me as well. I do like a variety in my collection so I'm hoping it will show me at least 1 pink leaf. What's a Pink Princess without a pink leaf?

What’s the best advice you could give a new pink princess owner?? I have two babies and I’m soo nervous!
0 gillningar I gave mine a grow light on a 12hour timer and i think it made her super happy, that and I almost always wait until leaves are a little droopy before watering. I know I could stick my fingers in the soil to check but I kinda wait for a plant to tell me it’s thirsty before I ever water. I use tap water. I keep my house around 70 and I don’t really do anything for humidity. One thing I noticed is the leaves tend to need help unfurling, but if you try to “help” too early you can damage the leaves so just be careful. I beat my girl up quite a bit and she’s somehow still managed to grow nicely. I’m hopeful the post-chop growth will be just as healthy :)
2 gillningar I have a well so I’ve been watering with purified. Grow lights are in the mail and my house stays right around there if not warmer! Good luck to all your babies!
0 gillningar You as well!! Keep us updated :)
1 gillaWhat grow light were you using?
0 gillningar I’ve had these for a long time and I’m not totally sure where my ex ordered them from but they’re something like this sold by LED on Amazon
Progress update, every single node has new growth points 🥰
