# For those of you waiting on the edge of your seats…prayer plant…

For those of you waiting on the edge of your seats…prayer plant cutting update. A new leaf is emerging and roots are about an inch long!

Would y’all put it in soil right about now or keep waiting?

My rule of thumb is if I’m wondering if it’s time, I should probably wait a little longer. 😊

I have plants that have 4+ inch roots and are still in water. I tell myself it's because I don't want to repot them in winter, but really I just don't want to have to find new space for everyone again lol

Amazing! I have a prayer plant - any tips on collecting a cutting?

i just cut like 1/2” under a node, it had those two mature leafs to begin with, and it’s been in that little jar of water since then.

I can’t find the prev post- how long did you patiently wait for these beautiful roots?
