Had too many cuttings for a cup after trimming some of my plants so I decided to pancake prop them 😅

Get out of town, I’ve literally been doing the same thing this evening! 🤣 My pearls and jade pothos and monstera standleyana got a hard reset. Epipremnum albo got a haircut for propagating purposes. And a couple others had some accidental breaks while I was moving them around this weekend, and I decided to make the best of it lol. I told myself I would stop propagating because I have too many plants, but the person in my mirror told me that there’s local people who would love to have cheap plants when I’m ready to do a plant room purge sale 😜

Hahahaha! Sometimes you just gotta hard trim. I cut my monstera siltepecana, cebu, and manjula tonight. The sultepecana started to fenestrate too!!

Did you snag any pics? You can never have too many props!

I hate to sound so stupid, but what does pancake prop mean and how do you do it? Actually, when I first saw your picture I thought it was a lovely green salad! Seriously!

Valid question!! It’s just propagating in low trays. I filled it up with sphagnum. Lower trays dry faster so it helps me keep the nodes wet but also nicely aerated ☺️

Thanks for your reply!
