# Should I cut this down or leave it be? Heyy😸 my coworker recently…

Should I cut this down or leave it be?

Heyy😸 my coworker recently gifted me a chunk of her snake plant and it appears to be rooting well in this cup.

My next worry is it appears to be too tall for any of my current grow areas. Should I chop her down and make props? Or will she grow out ok as is.

I would chop her and prop to get a nice full pot
