# Prayer plant- how to stop long vines!? This prayer plant just has 2…

_Posted by Sillyna511 on 2026-05-22_

Prayer plant- how to stop long vines!? This prayer plant just has 2 main stems that keep getting longer and longer. Should I cut them back? Do I then replant the cuttings into the main pot to make it more full? It seems happy enough, it just flowered recently at the end of 1 stem, and has another new flower shoot coming from the pot. But it’s just so loooonnng.

I have the same problem. It just keeps spreading out all from two thin stems.

Mine does the same. It’s basically growing out of control lol I just trim the dead leaves and vines and let it do her thing
