# Plant accident!!! My hanging plant fell today which has never…

_Posted by sorrel on 2024-12-04_

Plant accident!!! My hanging plant fell today which has never happened before, and unfortunately when it landed the stem broke very close to the top of the vine. I am terrified! I don't want it to die, I propogated it over a year ago and its one of my favorites. Should I cut it and try to propogate the long stem again? Or should I leave it and hope it heals? Help!!

Cut and prop, that stem probably wont make it

I would prop it. Worse case you have 2 plants

If it’s broke, it will probably die. I would chop the vine between the nodes before and after the damage and propagate 😊then you’ll get even more of the plant you love!

It survived for a little while without chopping it up between nodes, but i just did this yesterday and am hoping some of them will root. Fingers crossed!!
