# Hello! I need some help with my baby dracaena, I literally just slid…

_Posted by Mossy-paws on 2024-04-28_

Hello! I need some help with my baby dracaena, I literally just slid it out of its pot, and it only had one tiny root that broke off immediately when I tried to see how stable it was, I put it in water to grow more roots, is that the best thing to do? Ps my other one I tried to pull it out but it wouldn’t come out so I’m gonna just leave that one alone. (It’s the one in the dirt. My hand for size reference)

Maybe use rooting hormone if you haven’t used it yet??
