# This little gal has sprouted new heads (?) and I’m not sure what…

_Posted by Plant Barbie on 2024-11-17_

This little gal has sprouted new heads (?) and I’m not sure what would be the best approach to straightening her out. If repotted, I’m not sure how I’d stake or prop up these shoots.

Should I cut them? Prop? Leave alone to thrive wildly? TIA for any advice.

I have some that have done the same thing! Sprouts everywhere and I’d love to propagate but I want to do it correctly!

Just cut a segment and put it in soil and you’re good. That’s how I did it and it makes it easier when you have one of those Ariel roots in the soil.

Cut right below some of the tiny roots, let the cut piece sit out for a few days to callus over. Then plant it in soil, or perlite.

Really a personal preference. I kinda like it when they go crazy lol to stake it see if you can move it upright and put in 1-2 stakes, i like to use the green velcro tape, so it kinda cages it to the stakes, but gives them room

Thanks y’all!!!!

Thanks you guys!

Wolfen, would you cut use all three aerial roots? Or would the one on top be sufficient enough for that top section to be potted up alone?

I probably should do something with mine but I kinda like the look and it has become a conversation piece lol
