Finally getting some new growth to cover the ‘bean loss’ at the top, I know it will be tricky and I will lose a lot. 🥺 Gallon water bottle is for scale. I just measured: it’s about 24” long. ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gLP0pAooEL9OTl9DU7mzOUhhnKhi2RiAAEcj-Osrm3Y/2BCiKuxUTC2nfkpj_NxS1g.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gLP0pAooEL9OTl9DU7mzOUhhnKhi2RiAAEcj-Osrm3Y/ZAV6p3W8QXWSbssAMjCVZw.webp?size=large) ## 7 comments ### Donna S commented on 2026-09-06 Two propagations that I still have. Have given away many more. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gLP0pAooEL9OTl9DU7mzOUhhnKhi2RiAAEcj-Osrm3Y/XenSibtQRxy3cHmpkvszEA.webp?size=large) ### Virginia commented on 2026-09-06 Goals! ### Mugsy commented on 2026-09-06 It’s so stunning. I avoid having to repot this plant at all costs. 😆 I have one that is in desperate need of repotting but I just can’t bring myself to do it. I heard that if you wait until it’s pretty dry and due for a watering this will help prevent leaf loss. Also, use an empty nursery pot as a mold, pack soil around the empty pot inside your new planter, pull it out to leave a pocket to place your plant in. I tend to lose a lot of leaves when I’m trying to pour soil around the plant during repotting. I would also have a helper for this. 😁 Good luck! #### Donna S replied on 2026-09-07 Great tips. Thanks! I really don’t want to do it, but it really needs some soil added. My plan is for it to be a one time thing and then let it be after that. ### Joycita commented on 2026-09-06 Wow! I look at my plant \& it loses leaves lol can’t imagine repotting. Good luck!! ### sarahinthemeantime commented on 2026-09-08 I recently repotted mine (WAY smaller) and I waited for it to be super dehydrated. I was prepared for a mess still, but I was able to gently lay out the stems as I turned my pot sideways and slid it off. They seemed pretty solid so I actually proceeded to separate the stems from each other one at a time and arrange in my new pot with very minimal losses! #### Donna S replied on 2026-09-08 That’s encouraging.
