Hey propagation peeps! I just took a cutting of this variegated string of hearts (grown from a cutting of my friends) and am now wondering how the main plant will grow back. Hoping I didn’t make it that short forever. Has anyone done this before?
Plants like to be trimmed as long as they’re healthy. It stimulates more growth
1 like Have you propagated before? It’s cool to see those roots start to develop at the plain stem in the water. It feels like a miracle.

1 like It is really cool! So many people show their propagation pictures because it just feels amazing for it to work. But it does it almost always. Feels like a miracle
2 likes I cut back my pothos and have a few different ones now, and have a pilea I grew from a cutting too. It’s so rewarding!
2 likes Yes. I have some succulents, African Violets, and some from a Christmas cactus that are taking forever!
1 like I’m sure it’ll be beautiful!

If you throw a pothos cutting in with other cuttings they will root faster. Learned that from Planterina on YouTube 😃 I guess they give off a rooting hormone.

LOTS of times! I have a few Ceropegia woodii plants that I let dangle down. Once one vine gets almost to the floor, I’ll snip off about half of it and prop it up. The old plant will eventually grow a new vine out of one of the nodes (where the leaves are attached). Nothing will keep this plant down except maybe overwatering.
