# Hey everyone! So I’m seeing the leaves of my plant starting to get…

_Posted by Alex Moraga on 2024-06-24_

Hey everyone! So I’m seeing the leaves of my plant starting to get droopy and yellow in the middle. And I think the new bottom leaves are sucking all it nutrients. Do you think it’s time to propagate my plant? And if so how? By cutting the tall 3 stems in half and propagate that?

This will be my first time propagating anything, so any help is appreciated:) Thank you!

Is it root bound

Hi! I checked and it’s not :(

It isn’t the new leaves but your soil is no longer balanced for this plant, so just repot! The leaves most likely won’t come back, but new ones should grow from the node. If this doesn’t help in 3-4 ish weeks, I’d then consider propagating

Thank you! I’ll go ahead and repot them and hopefully it’s all good. I’ll keep an eye on them for the weeks to come :)

i chopped mine into a bunch of pieces, including a leafless stem, and they all propagated and some are growing in soil now!
