OK don't judge this sad one leaf prop LOL I actually took this one for the new growth point it has. This is an Anthurium papillilaminum stem cutting that ha been rooting in moss for about 2 months. I could actually leave this plant in moss for the rest of its life, because they will grow indefinitely in moss. But moss has to be refreshed eventually because it breaks down over time. So I usually pot these up in mix. You can see the roots through the plastic

I took the plant out and just shook it gently and let what moss that wanted to just fall off. Whatever is stuck the the roots will stay. I got most of it off

For now, I am going to put it right back into the same cup, just in mix.

Careful to leave the new growth tip out

I have several of these paps to do, I was going to also do this one which was taken at the same time as the other

but its root system was huge and the moss did not want to come off

So I just ended up getting as much as I could off without actively pulling it off and repotted into a larger container with some fresh moss
