# hey! i’ve had this Friendship Moon Valley since the summer and it was…

hey! i’ve had this Friendship Moon Valley since the summer and it was doing great! until i forgot to water it for 2 weeks😬. a lot of the leaves died and since then many keep dying but there are a lot of healthy parts of the plant. i was wondering if there are any ways to make it less leggy? can i cut it all and prop the cuttings to get a fuller base?

I was always told cut near the nodes like a (haircut) it should double the amount of leaves.

Yes you can probably (I’m not familiar with this plant specifically) cut it back and leave some leaves 2 sets and you should see new growth right above where a former leaf was this is called pinching. You can save the top you pinched and propegate that too usually.
