# I need help!! In trying to repot this beautiful guy I managed to snap…

I need help!! In trying to repot this beautiful guy I managed to snap the top off! 🥲  
I did save the top and hope that it takes off but I’m worried about this guy. Will he be okay and recover? Should I do anything to help it along? It was doing so well and one of my favorites. I’m so sad!

I’ve cut the tops off a few of mine (not enough light even with a light so they were getting leggy) and the bottoms always fared better than the tops so I think it should be fine!

I hope so! Thanks, Laura!
