Hi all, need some advice for my Swiss Cheese plant. Got it from Greg shop. It was full and beautiful and doing great outside…took it inside for winter and I almost lost it- my house is very dark-but I have many grow lights. Spring came and she went outside. I got into Electroculture- put one in her soil- and this big stinker has blown up. It has 5 huge new growths, each on very leggy stems….12+ inches. I’d love to propagate- but I’ve never done it. I’ll show pics. Do I cut the whole long stem? Where do I cut? Thank you in advance #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #MonsteraMonday #GregGang #GreggersSupportingGreggers

What a beauty! 🌱
Do not cut the whole long stem. Instead, use a cutting of a 4-6 inch section from the tip. Make this cut about a half inch below a leaf node. A leaf node is the slightly swollen bump on the stem where leaf attaches were small, aerial roots emerge. Sanitize cutting tools.
when you put the cut in a jar of fresh water, make sure the node is submerged. Make sure the leaves are not underwater. They should go in brighten direct sunlight and change the water every few days.
