# Hi all! I’ve had this Swiss cheese plant for awhile, I bought it and…

_Posted by Carley on 2024-08-14_

Hi all! I’ve had this Swiss cheese plant for awhile, I bought it and brought it back from near-dead to thriving and now it is oddly only growing new leaves from the bottom stalk… should I snip off this long spindly leaf-less arm thing it has going on? (Included a pic of it at its healthiest and a pic now)

cut that length with no leaves, it’s done. it will be able to better focus its energy starting over at the bottom

check your conditions though because that new growth doesn’t look too happy!

Thank you so much!

I repotted it to a smaller pot today, I’ll cut that length and maybe move it from direct sun to indirect
