Why in the world would you cut all those perfect leaves?

#### PlantMamaTiff replied on 2025-02-15

I know, it’s sad, but they both got pretty leggy this winter so I pruned them back to make them bushier. I’m propagating all the stems too which is why there’s so many leaves here.

How do you propagate the stems?

#### PlantMamaTiff replied on 2025-02-15

You can take a stem cutting, remove 2-3 leaves from the bottom while leaving a few at the top, and let it sit in a glass of water in bright, indirect light. Then, we wait…it’s supposed to take maybe 2-3 months to see roots

Is too bad you didn’t have bigger leaves also cause I know that you can root those too
