How do you propagate? I had awful luck with mine in water, they all wilted and died super quickly
From my experience not all my clippings make it and I think it has a lot to do with where you make the cut on whether or not it will root. Propping in water is the only way that has worked for me. Oh! I forgot to say I dip the clippings in rooting hormone and then I mix a pinch of the rooting powder into the water I'm about to put the clippings in. Mine get wilty after the first day but the survivors perk up after a day or so and go on to root. I hope I helped. They also like hella indirect light but mine are aboout 2 feet away from grow lights for 12-13 hours a day and they finally flowered so I honestly don't know what I'm doing. I just wing it really after some googling of the basics for my plants.
There’s a pretty good chance your plants going to die after flowering. You can prolong its life by snipping the flowers off / just remove that entire flowering stem when they appear. If you do let it flower you should try to collect seeds, that might be a neat experiment. I’d love to see how it works!
Oh man! That's kinda sad making. I am shocked I kept a needy-ish plant alive this long and long enough for it to die a natural death.
I will clip it and dissect it for seeds and I will try to grow those seeds. Thank you very much for responding and telling me these things
It’s also an achievement! You nurtured it so well it lived out its entire natural life cycle because you’re such a good plant parent! :) That would be really cool. I’d love it if you take pictures & document it and then do a progression post. I am sure a lot of people would love to see it!
Oh my you just made my day! Thank you so very much for your kind words and encouragement. & yes I'd love to do that it sounds like quite the interesting and fun expirement and I can already imagine how excited I'll be once the first little seedlings start to pop up
