Uggg... this plant does not like me!! I try my best to care for it and it always dies eventually!

I always water prop mine until its got some goods roots going before i pot them. I have purple hearts coming out my ears and several other props waiting to be potted.

I find this plant bittersweet. It propagates and grows super easy like a weed. Yet it seems to grow in leggy length vs a full plant.

Then the stems get long and they dry out like what your picture looks like.

It’s like they’re easy to care for and hard to care for at the same time.

I can give you a whole crap load of propagations if you live in Washington  
🤣

Same any takers in Mid-MI, hit me up😆 mine do get leggy too. You have to keep up frequent pruning to keep it bushy (which i dont lol) i just let it live🤷‍♀️

#### Dani replied on 2026-03-11

I feel like I do prune enough and sometimes I even propagate and replant in the top but 🤷🏻‍♀️
