What would y’all do about this leaf that won’t stand up? I’ve propped it up on another leaf for a while. \*both plants were outside last night getting a drink from the rain\*

i just cut mine off 😭 hes a snake plant so he’ll be fine (maybe i shouldn’t own plants?)

I cut one off and I think the rest of the leaf wilted so I just pulled it out. 😫

If the base is too slim and can’t support the top, I would cut it off. You could try to stake it up but that may be a temporary fix for a permanent situation.

That’s what I was thinking. 😕 didn’t want to cut him but think I might have to

### Mara a commenté le 2023-07-10

Yeah don’t stress if you have to cut your plants back from time to time. I’m a big pruner when I feel like they need space, air circulation or I if I simply don’t like the way it looks.

If you do prune it, you can propagate the leaf in water! It takes a while but you could always add the rooted leaf back into your pot once it grows them.
