# Newbie here and newbie plant momma. Got this guy from Walmart at 50%…

_Posted by LadyTenorJD on 2025-03-09_

Newbie here and newbie plant momma. Got this guy from Walmart at 50% off because the cashier thought the plant didn't look right. I tried to tell her it is supposed to look like this, but I had two other plants who didn't look great (pink princess and a pink waffle), so she discounted my entire order. Three plants for $13 and change. 🤭 I'm wondering if I can propagate this part right here that is growing out and has the little nodes showing.

Yes you can propagate there. That's a tiny little root starting. You can propagate at any leaf but it's good to see a little Root growing to give you a head start.

Thanks! I have three cuttings from different plants/species, but only one took. I'm going to try this one, because I love this plant and would love another one without buying one...and I do have empty pots. Thanks again!

Best to get it started good in water first, before transferring to soil. Get some really good, strong roots going.
