First propagation!! This was an accidental break. I was trying to wind Achilles’s vine around to make the pot look fuller… and it snapped. So I started my first propagation and named him Hector, playing off the Achilles theme. This was after almost 2 weeks!

I saw real progress after I stopped changing out the water every 3 days, because I read that I was basically pouring the rooting hormone down the drain and forcing Hector to start over again. Now I just top it off, and one time I replaced half with fresh filtered water.

I’m so excited!!!!! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantParent #GregGivesBackGiveaway #FirstProp #PropagationStation #Propagation
