Yes, just put it in soil!

### Yup commented on 2025-09-18

You can all so chop it off

Yes that’s a root, just but it in soil to propagate it. If you do not want to propagate it, then you can cut the root off.

She’s so beautiful, I have one and she’s been very temperamental with me 😔. Any tips? Yours looks beautiful.

aww!! i’ve only had her a few weeks but she was very root bound when i got her so she’s been repotted and she’s thriving now. i don’t do anything special, i think misting has really helped tbh (i’d mist every day or every other day if your space is quite dry). i’m sure you already have but just make sure there’s no bugs? i keep her soil moist and only water when the top layer of soil is dry. i’d also be careful with the type of water you’re using, they’re very sensitive to tap water too!! hopefully she gets better soon!! \<3

Thank you! I do all except mist everyday, I mist maybe once a week, maybe that’s the missing link lol.

Your prayer plant is lovely! I have two anemic ones. What would you say makes them so healthy?

Nevermind I see your tips above! I just started misting my plant Faith 😊 She has her own bottle that sits beside her so I don't forget. I'll start using filtered water
