# Propagated from my main PVN, do these little guys typically survive…

_Posted by Kitty on 2025-10-30_

Propagated from my main PVN, do these little guys typically survive well after the leaf has dried up? There's a little growth happening especially in the middle circle, the small green one. How do I keep these guys going?

I've been spraying a little with water in between the big waterings

There is no need for “big waterings”. Misting every free days is usually plenty. They don’t have enough roots to take up a lot of water. You have probably been overwatering. It’s very unlikely they will survive but you can always give it a go. At this point they normally would be big enough to go into a very small pot. In the pic, I just cut this little guy off of the end of a dried leaf. And I’m still only misting every few days when it looks dry.

Okay thank you for this, I will only mist from now on.
