# Hopefully I didn’t screw up! This plant was just taunting me. I think…

_Posted by Hannah on 2024-10-23_

Hopefully I didn’t screw up! This plant was just taunting me. I think the pot was FAR too big and it just never looked healthy and at its fullest potential. So… I decided to put them in water in hopes of growing healthier and bigger roots then I’ll repot into something larger. Just looking for some advice on care for this girly and curious if anyone has ever used the “prop drops?”

Thanks! 😊

I’d suggest natures prop drops! Pothos and spider plant props release a rooting hormone which help grow your root system!

Yes!!! I love prop drops! I use them both in my water props and in soil. They work really well
