I have one strand left, and I really donā€™t want to loose it. Itā€™s under a grow light for 12 hours a day. Itā€™s always a little squishy and wilted. I have put the last string in the soil in hopes the pieces would propagate, but I havenā€™t had any luck with that. It was in a pot with no drainage and I think it wasnā€™t getting enough light and too much water. It has been in this pot for a while now. The roots were okay when I looked. I donā€™t know what else to do. Any advice appreciated. The profile picture is what it looked like when I got it. ā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļøā¬‡ļø ![Bilaga 1 av 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p0RkWW379Faoh68ydLsAGcdlgxPYleN0RhzaB8MvE-Y/c8iMXuX-T7CzJGNHvWWMeA.webp?size=large) ## 8 kommentarer ### Bri kommenterade den 2024-08-14 That pot I would say is definitely too big šŸ„² #### Maddie svarade den 2024-08-14 Okay thank you #### Bri svarade den 2024-08-14 Also maybe pin down the remaining string (I broke a paper clip in half) and mist the top every so often, just a suggestion thatā€™s how I got mine to root #### Maddie svarade den 2024-08-14 This is the pot itā€™s in now, I tried to pin it down with paper clips, but it wouldnā€™t holdā€¦ ![Bilaga 1 av 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/p0RkWW379Faoh68ydLsAGcdlgxPYleN0RhzaB8MvE-Y/IEr8yMQtS3qsjJ5X6AEfRg.webp?size=large) ### Chass kommenterade den 2024-08-14 Circle it in the pot like you did before. All of those little ā€œknotā€ looking things on the stem CAN produce roots #### Maddie svarade den 2024-08-14 Okay, any tips on how to fasten it down? I tried paper clips but it wouldnā€™t hold it down ### Chass kommenterade den 2024-08-14 I used Bobby pins, the wide ones used for buns \& stuff. One time burried a pothos vine \& just left the leaves out for photosynthesizing #### Maddie svarade den 2024-08-14 Okay, I will try those! Thank you for your suggestions!
