The first flower bloomed and I’m excited to get new pups on this one!  
How do you know when they are ready to take from the mother plant? There’s 5 tiny babies growing on this one stem!

I always just wait until they have some tiny nodes and then stick them in water till they get secondary roots. Then I pot them. I have heard of other people letting them get plenty of aerial roots and then going straight into the soil. I’m not patient enough for that…🤣

Both work! My host plant was a baby I took from a giant plant at an air bnb and water propped.

And this weekend I popped a baby off that had plenty of roots and just stuck it in the soil. It’s already rooted in lol

I’ve got another bigger one that’s ready to go too
