# Hello..this guy is a Vertical Leaf Propeller Plant. Since his leaves…

_Posted by Nichole on 2023-03-23_

Hello..this guy is a Vertical Leaf Propeller Plant. Since his leaves are not close together I’m going to assume that he has done some stretching- unfortunately I realized kinda late how direct succulents prefer their light. I added grow lights but. They were added a bit too late☹️. Can the top of this guy be cut off, allowed to callous over, and be replanted? If so how much should I take off? Should I cut the piece I remove into more than one piece to replant? Thank you!!

Yes! You can go ahead and turn the top into a cutting. I think the main plant will produce side branches 🌱🌱

Thank you! Should I let it callous over?

For a couple of hours or a few days, to prevent stem rot. But not several days or weeks, like you do with cacti 🙂
