Did I do the right thing?
Hey plant parents! Just had a quick question about my #ChineseMoneyPlant So my second Chinese money plant spit out two pups while I was away from home visiting family. I wanted to isolate them into their own pot so theyβd stop draining the mother plant but I honestly had no idea how to.
I cut one pup from the mother at the base where the pup still had plenty roots and stem to grow from and plopped it in its own pot but I left the other in case I messed up big time. So my question is, did I do the right thing? Should I have done it differently? Let me know!

They do say that Chinese money plants are also known as friendship plants because they grow so easily and prolifically, that you can snip off a leaf (with some of its stem) or a pup and give it to a friend, and it will grow for them as well. π I think thatβs just lovely. So with that in mind, I think you did just fine. Thereβs no right or wrong. Keeping the pup in there will give you a bushier pot when they both eventually grow. You could also cut off the other pup and try starting it in water too. Good luck with your lovely new pups!! π±π±
Just wanted to second what @WelsomeRhodotus said, you did great and both the pup and mama will be fine. Pups usually have their own roots when they grow further away from the parent plant like this, so you would'nt even need to prop it in water first. Just be careful to stay on top of watering the pupβsoil dries out faster in terracotta pots, and younger plants can quickly fall limp.
