🌱🌱 Look at these little babies! 😍💚 Should I pop them in water or soil to propagate first, or do you think it’s still too early to separate them? I’d love to hear what you’d do! 🪴

I cut my babies off and just throw them in a cup of water and make sure they stay wet until they get a lot of roots.

Omg they look beautiful, well done!! 😍 were they as small as mine are in the picture above? Never thought about just sticking them into a cup, most people have these fancy containers. Thank you for the idea!! 💚🌱

I just looked at my mother with more babies, they are a bit bigger. I think yours may be a little bit too small yet, but it won’t be long.

Thank you. I’ll keep them attached for a little longer🌱💚
