# Hey guys! I really want to save this one! It's really been thriving…

_Posted by Greenthumb? on 2024-12-17_

Hey guys! I really want to save this one! It's really been thriving but all of a sudden this morning it was bent over and the bottom looked like a goner. Of course the top half is still doing well. I drowned it in water this morning even adding some arriation holes. I'm scared to cut it and try to propagate. Any suggestions?

Looks like it got stretched trying to find light, only way to help it is to chop and prop

What is the best way to propagate it

I would cut those three pieces, stick the very top piece in some succulent/cacti soil mix and water when dry, the other two cuts I would put in a Tupperware with some damp spagnum moss and gently cover it with cling film. Put all cuttings in the sunniest space you can, the plant needs plenty of light and warmth to grow roots
