Good luck ! I’m too scared to chop mine ! 😅

Good luck! How tall was the mother plant?

Mine is only one sprout about 6 leaves on it now. How big should they be before you propagate?

I’m wondering the same thing. I have a little one, but I want it to start branching out.

I just chopped my tineke too! I’m right there with you 🤞

So cute! I would probably take off the lower 2 leaves so it works on roots instead of keeping the leaves alive. Also, be patient! My ficus lyrata took 3 months to pop out any roots 😮‍💨 You’ve got this!

This is super interesting, mine has a few roots but doesn’t seem to be growing, might chop the leaves and see…

Let us know how it goes!
