Tips on repotting when all leaf strands come apart when d...

I suggest making sure she is well watered and plump before repotting. It will make the strands a bit stronger.
I’ve had to repot mine twice- once getting it home, 2nd was wrong pot. First time was a disaster and I lost a bit of leaves and some strands. This is what I did the 2nd time…I got a piece of paper, put the plant on its side- leaves/strands on the paper. Rolled the paper around and put a little tape to keep it. Then I pulled the plant out of the pot, picked it up by the root and the wrapped paper and put in new pot, and filled it. Took the paper off and only lost minimal amount of leaves- no strands came off. I know it’s a lot but it worked for me. You will lose some, it’s just a fragile plant. Yours is beautiful.
Sorry just seen this, what a great and lovely idea! Wish I had seen this. My baby looks completely different now and barely has any leaves πŸ₯² I'm hoping she can grow again, but I might just have to retry with a new baby. Hopefully she will regrow to how she once was, believe she got too much water in the bathroom so had to dry her out a bit before taking her out the pot, think too many of her leaves became mush sadly. Which has resulted to how she is now- it's so sad!! Xx
