Hey all I have a purple inch plant and recently it lost most of its vines. I trimmed the end of each vine and have them in water hoping to propagate them again. Does anyone have an explanation for why this might have happened?

Any signs of root rot?

#### Planta member replied on 2024-09-26

None that I could see

Hm well maybe there was too much moisture in the air or still in the soil between watering. This one’s really finicky depending on the humidity.

Were you top watering? I’d water sits on the top of the soil long enough it can rot the base of the stem a little at a time each time you water (happened to me)

I was that may be what was happening
