Btw does anyone know what kind of plant this is??

#### Adrian replied on 2025-04-09

Can you attach a photo of the top of the plant into the comments? I know of a few plants this might be, but it looks quite etiolated, so a photo of the top of the plant can help narrow it down 😊

Idk if this helps

Repotting won’t help. It needs to be chopped and propped.

#### Melikeplants replied on 2025-04-11

Alr. Any tips on how to do that?

#### Phil replied on 2025-04-11

It’s so etoliated, that I’m not even sure what it is. Do you know? Most plants will prop from a stem cutting placed in water. Some will put out roots in a short time, others take a very long time. By short time, I mean several weeks. Long time means up to a year.

Never seen a plant do a backbend before
