Do you all think I could snip a leaf or two (pointed cut) and just stick them straight into the soil? 🫣 It’s getting top heavy

if you have any, you could root the top cuttings in perlite! that method worked the best for Plants with Krystal on youtube. i dont have any of these guys, so i personally cant give an opinion, but theres a chance it would work!

i wouldn’t recommend propagating this plant at all, it looks healthy and happy as is. if you do decide to propagate, make sure to let the cuttings callous and dry in the air for at least a few days so they don’t rot in whatever media you choose to root them in
