_Posted by B true on 2025-09-09_

I am attempting to propagate a lemon lime “prayer” plant. I followed tips and let the roots grow about an inch before planting, but now I feel like it was too early. Anyone have experience with doing what I’m attempting? Thanks!!

I got a clipping from a friend and I thought it was going to die at lest 3 times before it finally started to grow and look like a plant. They are super dramatic

I put mine in a mall aquarium with soil and a stone humidifier in it and it sprouted two leaves

They always look sad after repotting or growing from a start. Just don’t give too much water and leave it alone. It will take off.

Also maybe too close to light?
