Hope that scared face isn’t because I already screwed up!? lol I did just as Alexa instructed…

I've found these too root pretty easily. I've started a few from my mom's and that one is about 20 years old. Let us know how yours does.

For sure, I’ll keep y’all posted on Nova’s (what I named it) progress!

I also took Gemini and Trident from the same plant as I got Nova! Little Nibbler, next to Trident was found growing next to the Mama plant! Everyone’s very happy!
