So I’m trying to propagate this gigant lol.  
Problem is, the leaf is too heavy I think. It’s tipping more and more. What do I do? 🙁 UPDATE: I put the plant in that big glass container and against the window. I also added rooting hormone and lentil powder to the water. FINGERS CROSSED! 🤞🏽

1\) The cup looks to small  
2\) Is there any nodes a lot of plants need those in order to propagate plants

#### Lala, Dr. Greenthumb님이 2023-06-06에 답변했습니다.

Yeah 😕 I figured that was part of the issue. Imma go buy a bigger one today I don’t have any at home.  
And also, I just uploaded another picture I’m not sure tbh if it has nodes or not 🤨 I hope so 😭

Use a larger vase and maybe add some decorative rocks to the bottom to add more weight so it doesnt tip as easily

#### Lala, Dr. Greenthumb님이 2023-06-06에 답변했습니다.

Ohhhh rocks would help for sure! I’ll add that to today’s shopping list besides a larger vase. 🫡🫡🫶🏽

Get LECA instead, and make sure to clean them thoroughly before putting them in the vase.  
I don’t see a node in the photos you uploaded, but maybe it will still grow roots (it happened to me with a Pothos stem that didn’t have a node). Make sure to add some root propagating food to the water to increase your chances.

#### Lala, Dr. Greenthumb님이 2023-06-06에 답변했습니다.

Oh no 😔 I hope it grows roots! It’s only been in water for 2 days. Is leca better than just water? I have some root hormone but is powder. Should I buy a liquid one? My fingers are so crossed rn with my poor plant I don’t want it to die 🥺

#### Corrie님이 2023-06-06에 답변했습니다.

Leca is the clay ball things that you add to pots in lieu of soil, or you add to propagation. But there are some good liquid fertilizers online!

#### Lala, Dr. Greenthumb님이 2023-06-06에 답변했습니다.

I was just researching about lentil powder. 😱 it says it can be added to the propagation water and it’ll promote rooting 🤩 trying it today while I get a liquid fertilizer 💪🏽🙂

I lean mine against a wall or window but you can always get a skewer or Bambi peice and use plant tape to connect

#### Lala, Dr. Greenthumb님이 2023-06-06에 답변했습니다.

Aghhh how did I not think about this lol 😅😅😅😅😅 doing it now! 🏃🏻‍♀️💨
