# I need advice from someone who has experience with propagating…

_Posted by Tiffany on 2023-08-10_

I need advice from someone who has experience with propagating philos… this we my first pink princess, and I’m really not a fan that the bottom half has no leaves… I’ve already propped a top cut and both the cutting and this plant are doing okay (see new growth in the top) but I’m curious if it would be advisable to:

1\) cut the top again to where the leaves stop and prop that.  
2\) prop some nodes from the long leafless stem that would be left  
3\) let the bottom start fresh (will she do so left potted as is without any leaves?)

TIA!!!
