Just a little update on my Turtle Vine plant, Fern! I had him for a year and at first he was thriving but that quickly took a turn as his roots rotted and died out almost completely🥲. After months of rehabilitation and endless propagation he is finally growing beautifully ☺️🙏🏽

I have literally loved some of mine to death with water. Great job with the save 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

How did you propagate?

#### Katm3281 replied on 2025-07-18

I water propagated in little glass jars with liquid fertilizer!

Thanks for the great idea. My Turtle Vine is long and growing, a bit thin. I see a haircut and propping in its future!

Mine was very leggy too with little to no leaves so I cut off the pieces that were rotting and I pinned the rest if the vines in the soil and now this is how he looks!
