# My beautiful plant has an awkward limb it sticks straight out of the…

_Posted by Doll on 2023-12-20_

My beautiful plant has an awkward limb it sticks straight out of the side so I could only put it in certain places because it takes up a lot of room. I would like to propagate it, but I’m very nervous because it is a Big Healthy limb, any advice would be greatly appreciated🤍🌱

In order to propagate it needs to have a node. I highly highly highly recommended NOT chopping it. Id take a chop stick or something like that and tie it up so that it is out of your way but is still connected to the plant.

Ok I will try that, does that eventually just kind of train it to grow in straight?
