# Recently chopped this philo melanochrysum to prop and without…

_Posted by Dakota the plant guy on 2024-08-07_

Recently chopped this philo melanochrysum to prop and without thinking i put it back in my cabinet (usually 80ish % humidity) and this happened… is it fine, should i cut it back a little and let it callous..?!

Note: the plant is currently out of the cabinet, was going to leave it out for a few days to see if that helps

I would absolutely cut this and spray/dab it with some peroxide and cross my fingers
