What is the prop process like at that scale? How do you balance efficiency with care?

#### Alicejokelly svarade den 2023-05-27

Thanks for asking!! We separate the individual leaves from small stem cuttings, then we plant the small stem cuttings into plug trays and sprinkle the individual leaves over pots and water semi regularly until they’re rooted and grow into full plants. Then we repeat the process!! To balance care and efficiency we keep all the trays in our employee greenhouse and water with the hose so it only takes about 10 minutes.

Wow! Thanks for the response! Surprising to hear that maintenance of so many props requires so little relative effort! Best of luck to you and the props!

Not gonna lie, that sounds really fun. And with a something to listen to, very therapeutic

It was delightful, although my back hurt after a while of leaning over a table
