Hey everyone!! I successfully propagated a trim from my mother plant and I want to add it in to make it look more full, is there a trick to do it without causing damage. I’ve never propagated anything before.

If you’re able to, usually what I do I after watering the mother plant is I use a chopstick and wiggle it around in the a spot in the soil to create an opening and stick the new prop in that
