I over fertilized my pink princess. The leaves aren’t very pretty. Can I cut off the new growths in a few months and propagate them?

I definitely would propagate some in case the whole plant dyes.

Yes. You can just do a 'wet stick' of one of the nodes too. Also flush the soil with clean water, of you haven't already

Don’t catch the over fertilization till it was too late. By wet stick, do you mean cut a good node off and stick it in water?

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-09

No. A cutting of just a node, no leaves is called a wet stick. You usually prop them in moss or perlite
