Just wondering what you guys did with your trailing/vining plants when they are getting to be too long for your space? I would feel bad throwing the vines away so I was just wondering if you guys had any ideas 💡 🌿

I like to propagate my cuttings and add them back to the original plant once they get roots.

Okay thank you!

I did this to start. When they got full on the bottom, I started trellising to manage. Now, It’s just madness. I should prune but I simply don’t want to!

You could also compost them and turn them into fertilizer to go back into your plants pot, it takes a while and a little bit of space and research but you would basically just throw them into a bucket for 4-5 months

That’s a good idea!

Feeling bad about throwing them out is why i have 5 full pots of purple heart spiderwort🫣 and 4 more propagations going😬😒🙄😆😆

#### Lauren’s Plants svarte den 2026-03-25

Yep I have a few propagation plants already too which is why I needed another method🤣

### Jess kommenterte den 2026-03-25

I propagate and then plant them and usually give them away as gifts lol

#### Lauren’s Plants svarte den 2026-03-25

This would be cute too especially with spring coming!

#### Jess svarte den 2026-03-25

Yeah! People honestly appreciate it because it’s thoughtful haha know you grew something for them and didn’t just buy it (not that that is bad lol)

I propagate and make a new plant or I take the trailing stem and loop it around the top soil so the nodes take root, then it gets fuller at the base which I like. I temporarily pin it to keep it in place and/or add a bit of soil if needed.
