Repot the babies and yes they will grow into a new mother plant #### Kelly svarede den 2025-09-02 Ok, thank you! Im a new plant mama and so uncomfortable with doing chop n props! I want to give away some of these babies! #### Becca svarede den 2025-09-02 When you repot the babies make sure their roots are clean any bad ones take away, dip the remaining roots in water and put into cactus/succulent soil and don’t water for a couple days to help prevent root rot #### Kelly svarede den 2025-09-02 Ok, will do! Thank you so much for the help! ### Springvision kommenterede den 2025-09-03 And put into tiny tiny pots they like to be snug #### Kelly svarede den 2025-09-03 Oh ok thank you! --- _Planta-fællesskabet (https://getplanta.com).
