# Just like cutting my hair, I’m timid about cutting whole sections of…

Just like cutting my hair, I’m timid about cutting whole sections of plants off lol. But my prayer plant had a big section that was too heavy apparently and it started splitting. I tried to splint and that didn’t work. So I decided to just cut off that whole side and propagate it. Two of the three propagations were ready so I planted them. I can’t believe the difference in the size of the leaves. 😆

I have an eschaveria totally etiolated but healthy and I’m just despondent over having to cut her so I get this. I will…I will.
