# Hey folks! Fully over watered my SOP and now I'm trying to salvage…

Hey folks! Fully over watered my SOP and now I'm trying to salvage it. It took the last of the healthy strands and I'm trying to propogate them. I have them laying on the substrate right now but I'm not sure what else to do to give them the best chance. Thoughts?

I just did this too! My pot was knocked over so many times so I figured I would try this as well to hopefully to it really going! 🤞🏻. Sorry I am of no help haha but I'm in the same boat 🤦🏻‍♀️

Aside from provide plenty of light and bottom watering only, put a dome or cling wrap over it and you’ll have new growth in no time!

I overwatered mine as well in the past so when I repotted as an “established” plant, I put it in a terracotta pot. Something to consider!
