# A friend just asked me to try and save her plant and I don't think I…

A friend just asked me to try and save her plant and I don't think I can but want to ask you all what you think. She cut the leaves off and put them in the soil. Will these grow? Thanks for the help

Without a node, at most she'll get zombie leaves

That's what I thought. Thanks

Why did she just cut the leaves off?

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-04-17

She was over watering all her plants and the stem was soft and she thought she could propagate this way. I tried to tell her months ago she was over watering but she didn't listen to me. Kill a bunch of her plants

Uh oh. That sucks. 🫣😕

### Gaileen Joy commented on 2025-04-17

My best advice? Buy your friend a nice plastic plant and tell her to refrain from buying live plants ever again. 😏

Lol sounds good
