# First time poster here! I think it’s about time for me to propagate…

First time poster here!

I think it’s about time for me to propagate this lovely friend. Any tips or suggestions on where to cut, how much to cut if I am trying to create a fuller plant?

Will be getting a bigger pot for this one to plant them all in once they root! :)

Thanks in advance for the help!

Make sure when you take a cutting it has a node. Otherwise it will not grow roots. Good luck! Looks great!!!

Hey, welcome to the Planta Community!! 💚

I would cut it just under the top aerial root that’s sticking out! That aerial root is super helpful for a more successful propagation. It will switch over to a regular ground root!

Oh very smart! And would you recommend I trim the aerial root so it fits in a pot OR find a pot that fits the root? (They are about 2-3 feet!) And thank you! 🙏🏼 🌱

I second having that aerial root for each cutting. Just maybe half an inch to an inch under each aerial root. I did this recently with my deliciosa and it is thriving

Same question as above if you care to weigh in - thank you! 🙏🏼 🌱
