I’ve been having this guy propagating for about 9 months now… and I just noticed it is growing these little babies.. any idea on what I should do? I’m so scared to pot it and kill it and have no idea how to handle the baby situation!

Hi!! I just rooted a cutting I got of one of these from a friend. I let it root and then put it in a small pot. It’s been doing very very well. I would suggest just potting it!! Let the babies grow☺️

Thank you!! Do you have a recommendation of what soil this guy likes?

#### NorbNeeb replied on 2024-07-16

Honestly it’s my first time owning one of these. Someone else might know better but I’ve personally just been using my regular mix (1/2 MG soil 1/2 perlite) and it’s been so so happy!!

Thanks so much!!

I think that’s a good choice. I was gonna recommend potting soil designed for house plants regular garden soil might be too heavy for the delicate roots

Very true. The miracle grow mix is amazing. I use the miracle grow mix and add more perlite/orchid bark.
