# My Chinese Money Plant has popped out some babies. What’s the best…

My Chinese Money Plant has popped out some babies. What’s the best way to remove them and let them grow in a separate pot? Do they pull out or do I need to cut them and propagate?

i always let them get a little bigger on the mother plant before doing anything

#### Fritz replied on 2023-06-07

How big would you suggest?

### Anya commented on 2023-06-07

In my opinion, they look large enough. I dig away some soil and use sterilized scissors to cut the root that attaches it to the mother. I put them in water and they root very well and quickly as long as I change the water frequently!

I’ve had success revoking them both in water and in soil but if I proper ate first, they grow more quickly once potted.

So pretty

Thank you. It’s one of the first plants I bought in a 2” pot. Happy I’ve kept it alive this long.

You cut them then put them in water till it roots then pot it
