# I attempted to propagate my friendship plant. The plant was totally…

_Posted by Aspiring Plant Mama on 2026-05-17_

I attempted to propagate my friendship plant. The plant was totally fine until I added the new stem, and perhaps overwatered it because I’m a noob.  
Is this plant salvageable? I’m sad, I don’t want to be a plant killa. Any advice is appreciated

If it is, mine is in a wick system self watering pot…seems to like consistent moisture.

Give it a few days/weeks or so Before you panic. Some plants are dramatic. I repotted my monstera the other day and before I could even finish getting his roots cleaned off he was droopy and mad at me. 😅
