    I left mine grow insanely long stems because I didn't know how to care for it. It seems happy like that but it's ugly as f* 😂, especially because when it's let loose like this, it looses all its leaves at the bottom and only keeps a dozen or so at the end of the branch lmao

    .. Wow.. I think it is a plant like this that I rescued only days ago, or, I'm trying to rescue the poor thing.. I found it in the garden trash where I live, and brought it home with me.. Only I had no idea what kind of plant it is, and since it's no bigger than one of your cuttings with leaves half the size and completely dehydrated.. But looking at your plant and cuttings, I can recognise the leaves as the same plant that I found.. If it's family to succulents then maybe I should give it the same soil mix??..

    When you layer a stem with success and cut the "donor" stem and move the new growth to another location, you lose the "donor" stem's growth is that correct? I have a healthy vine but with only two long vine stems so if I layer one it will be sacrificed from the process and overall set the main plant back - is this correct? Could the "donor" vine be layered a second time or at the cut tip?

    Once you cut the donor stem as you refer to it. The mother plant will generally put on new growing buds. Unless you cut it back in a way that damages the mother plant you should be fine
