Quick, someone tell me pruning is good for my plants! 😥 Just took some cuttings of my work plants to give to friends. I love sharing, but I hate chopping my babies. 🫣

Pruning is good for the plant and it encourages them to grow!

If you saved nodes, you can prop and make new plants!!

As with all things in life, context and timing are important. One can and should do away with the fear of taking a cutting from a plant. That is one of the key differences between the plant and the animal kingdom.

Very good point! Plants have the power to regenerate. 💚
