I knocked off some leaves from my string of turtles putting her back after watering (😩😩😩) so I’m gonna try rooting the leaves. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Don’t you hate that?!!

It was the worst!!!! I’m thinking of getting a doily or something to pop her on so I can lift her up safely.

### Kristen commented on 2024-06-18

String or turtles deserves a doily! Mine r looking sickly. I’m going to try and repot and see if that works. Only thing left to do.

Oh no!!! Hope yours recovers! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 do you have a long enough stem you can take a few props from too!!!

### Kristen commented on 2024-06-19

My string is almost a year old and has been doing well. Hope a bigger pot is the answer cause I love her!

I hope so too! My Turtles are in my top 3 fave plants so I totally get it! And she’s a year old she’s gotta have nice roots by now!
