# This is my first time successfully propagating a red nerve plant!!…

_Posted by ThatTattedPlantLady on 2026-03-05_

This is my first time successfully propagating a red nerve plant!! Usually these shrivel up in a day or two. I was finally able to do it with a takeout container, sphagnum moss, rooting hormone powder, And daily misting x2 a day. It’s been about a month and these are my precious little roots I worked so hard for!! :3 I’m so happy! I’m hoping to place her in a terrarium once I get bigger roots.

As someone who's currently also trying to propagate a nerve plant, I offer my sincere congratulations! I have tried so many times and failed every time haha. I'm trying a similar process to the one you described, so who knows, maybe it'll work this time 😅

Omg, someone who understands my pain!! It might take a while, she might not look firm every day, but keep giving that moss water and I promise one day it’ll have roots! It’s honestly a humbling experience, every other plant feels so much easier to propagate.
