The mother of thousands I just bought isn’t doing well so I want to chop and prop. Can I prop a top cut in water or where do I cut for water props?? Thanks!

    Did you repot? The pot looks too big for her. You may be able to revive her in her current state by providing her a more appropriately sized pot with well draining soil, and make sure she’s getting plenty of bright sunlight, they need a lot. If you take a cutting you’ll need to let the cutting sit for a day or two to form a callous over the cut before attempting to root, otherwise it’ll rot. Succulents are tricky to water prop and typically do better straight to soil. Regardless, be sure to cut below a node as new roots will form from the node. It looks like she has a few pups, that’s the easiest form of propagation for these plants. Good luck!

      You know, she was quickly repotted by the guy i bought her from. I was interested in her but she was potted up with another plant and I don’t like my plants mixed so I declined. Suddenly the man reappeared with her potted solo so I took her home. I think the repotting shock and move is probably the cause. I will repot her in a smaller pot tonight and I already took all the babies she had a couple days ago and put them on top of moist soil covered in Saran Wrap

      I wish you the best of luck, they are really cool! Mine bloomed for me two years ago and everyone told me she’d die after that, but she’s still here! I’ll add some pictures. Mine thrives on my neglect 🤣 I just water her when plants tells me to and leave her outside in the sunshine all year.

      Oh wow! I didn’t know they flowered! I just think they are such a wild looking plant, alien really. I have the smaller alligator kind too

    She’s inside right now because our community is being pressure washed 😅
