What should i do with the long stem, i feel like i should cut it but it feels so wrong because she has two pretty leafs on the top and she’s growing a few new leaves at the base. TIA! ![3件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LvwMJoXcIKiPwz9aFbtNnL2Pj4mYNbvJL-iB-RS0P8s/sDyOpjn1TraEZJgXChMv4w.webp?size=large) ![3件中2件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LvwMJoXcIKiPwz9aFbtNnL2Pj4mYNbvJL-iB-RS0P8s/_nrjUghKQ9KjgusVc2_bAg.webp?size=large) ![3件中3件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LvwMJoXcIKiPwz9aFbtNnL2Pj4mYNbvJL-iB-RS0P8s/mJzJ-UdLSW6RGfTZM33QgA.webp?size=large) ## 7件のコメント ### Nunyabzwxさんが2025-08-01にコメントしました I would cut the long stem off and propagate with the 2 leaves. Make sure its got node with it. Put it in water, or perlite or spaghnum moss then when its got roots you can stick it back in the pot with the other 2 leaves! #### Kassieさんが2025-08-01に返信しました Thank you!! #### Kassieさんが2025-08-01に返信しました I should chop it near the base of the plant? Then find a node to prop? Or should i chop it where the node will be? ### Nunyabzwxさんが2025-08-01にコメントしました Chop it at the base then chop it again up where the leaves are with a node and throw the stem away. ### Philさんが2025-08-01にコメントしました I have a white knight that I propagating also. I have it in water and pon. It is taking forever to get roots, unlike most philodendrons. I think it’s been three weeks. Checked on them today and the nodes are growing albeit slowly. Yours may not be a white knight. The striking characteristic of a white knight is the deep burgundy stems. Unless it’s because yours is etoliated. But still a beautiful plant. Yours may look better because I am disappointed that some of the new leaves have a yellow burgundy color in them. I would much prefer the white. I’m propping it because after purchase it lost a few leaves and I want a fuller plant for potting and attaching to a Treleaf trellis. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/pNEHQh0-Q2SC4NGG95UsGA.webp?size=large) ### Carolinagreenthumbさんが2025-08-02にコメントしました Are those roots sticking out of the base of the leaves? Could you cut her off below those things sticking out and place her in dirt? Her leaves are beautiful! ### Philさんが2025-08-02にコメントしました Those are nodes. In the pot in the water, those nodes are growing into roots. I could have made more cuttings but wanted to increase my chance of success by just doing two cuts-one at base and then another higher on stem. I thought about doing more cuts but a friend with a lot of plant knowledge suggested doing only two cuttings. --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
