# Was trimming the plants at work and tried to take enough off with…

_Posted by Darcy on 2025-02-14_

Was trimming the plants at work and tried to take enough off with this leaf to hopefully propagate it (in case the mother plant dies). Couldn’t find a clear node. Do I have any hope?

This is the mother? Or what you took off?

What I took

Oh yea if there's roots present, they are coming from a node

### River commented on 2025-02-14

It looks like there are roots... if so, you're good 👍

#### Darcy replied on 2025-02-14

Ok! So it will still put out new leaves

### River commented on 2025-02-14

It should. It will probably just take a while.
