# i have my nanouk plant supported by these skewers, but i’m not sure…

i have my nanouk plant supported by these skewers, but i’m not sure if she likes it. it looks weird without the skewers and i’m worried that she’ll snap if i let them hang downward as pictured. the tall ones are growing leggy, so should i clip them and try to propagate in soil?

i would trim them (leave a node or two to grow new leaves) and stick them right back in the same pot. tradescantia root so easily and it’s an ideal method to create a full, bushy plant
