Just cut up my trailing jade and marble queen pothos for propagation and these bits are all going in the compost bin. I feel like an absolute monster 😂😭 Anyone else find this process painful?

Cake🌻I can relate so heavily! The plant care guilt is real! 😂 I’ve cut my pothos vines a couple times in order to stick the top half I cut off back in the same pot to try to make her bushier. I also like to cut off leaves on rare occasion when they get to a certain level of messed up to keep my plants pretty & encourage new growth instead. I feel bad every time 😂 I’m trying to grow a Jade from 2 leaves I got from a friend right now & one of the leaves grew a baby root! 🥳 I feel like a mad scientist whenever I’m messing with them but luckily both Jades & Pothos are tough cookies 💪🏻 & they look so pretty with new growth after! 🥰

My Pothos was just one super long vine at one point & now she has 5 from me cutting & replanting! One of them is new growth she made by herself and hiding in there behind the big ones 😊

Nice, your Pothos is looking beautiful! Mine is a single vine currently so I propagated to make her bushy too, but I still feel so bad that I have to cut off some pretty leaves. 🥲 I ended up sticking them in a little shot glass just so I can enjoy them a bit longer before they fully die. 😆 And yea I keep trying to remind myself, this is good for the plants, but it’s just hard to believe it after you’ve chopped it into pieces lol

Thank you so much! 🥰 Right the guilt is so real!! The first time I did it I went a little overboard and felt like I hacked her up 😭 Practice makes perfect though & the shot glass idea is so cute! ☺️ WERE GOOD PLANT MOMS WE HAVE FUN ❤️

My best friend water propagated and gave me my Pothos as a gift. I was telling them I was considering cutting one of the longer vines to replant, but was worried/guilty bc it has such big pretty leaves. They were like NO do NOT TOUCH IT! So I’m not allowed to chop that one. At least for now 😉😂

YinDeezyThat’s how you end up with five pots of the same plant lol. Not every leaf needs to get saved 😆

Totally! I used to save every succulent leaf and end up regretting having a million babies 😂 learning to just let them go and focus on the main plant
