This is Richie. I wanna know if this plant is easy to propagate? And if so, can I please get tips/instructions? He keeps losing leaves and becoming all stem.

Yes,they are easy to propagate in water. Just cut the main stem a little more than half way down and put in some water. You should see roots very quickly.

I haven’t tired propagating yet, but I hear water works well! It also looks like he’s got two smaller baby plants he grew in there with him that you could separate into other pots. I repotted mine into a bigger pot up to the lower leaves cause it was getting stem-y too and it seems to be doing well so that might work too. Good luck! 😊🙌🏼

Oh, that’s a good idea too! I’ll probably put the babies in water and put him in a deeper pot up to the leaves like you did.
