I propagated my polka dot plant, but since I’m new I’m curious if this cutting will produce more stems? Or will I just have the one?

    It will over time, but it will also branch out more if you pinch off the top two leaves every so often

    You could pinch off a bit more than two leaves and propagate the top in water while the remaining piece branches. Once the top gets its own roots there plenty of room in that pot to plant it alongside what is there.

    How did you get it to survive? I propagated mine in water and once the roots filled the bottle I planted it but it died like 2 days later :(

    Idk what zone youre in but these guys only survive in terrariums for me. They require higher humidity than majority of plants i have.
