Would you believe this is a propagation cutting I took from the mother plant? 🪴

She’s beautiful! Did you propagate and put the cutting in water, then soil? How did you get this baby to grow so much?

#### Maisie replied on 2025-07-02

Yes grew in water until the roots were long enough then into soil. Honestly I have no idea, she just keeps growing and growing. Some of the leaves are the size of my hand! She’s right in the window so gets plenty on sunlight. All I do is water her whenever the soil gets dry - that’s it!

Amazing, thank you! Whenever we’ve tried going from water with roots to soil, it’s unsuccessful :(

I’ve never had any issues. Generally I’ll leave cuttings in water for ages because I procrastinate potting them🤣 So when I do pot them the roots are longgggg. Because they’re used to water, I’ll keep the soil pretty moist for a week or two before letting the soil dry and starting a regular watering schedule.

I absolutely believe you. Those plants love to grow like weeds! I have one also, but it is giving me a few problems right now, so I’m babying it. It is still sprouting new leaves and getting longer, though!
