Couple of years old, blooms almost year-round. Had 3 stems, cut 2.

Propagates easily in water or soil, but I expected new growth from the cut stems on the mother.
Someone tell me I'm wrong please so I can stop thinking about this.

Left several inches of leaves on them, hacked the top and made cuttings.

The stems died, leaving me with one stem 2' tall, almost to the point it can't support itself.

I can stake it, but are these considered short term plants that you keep going through generations of cuttings? On a windowsill, straight southern light but shaded from western.

I used to keep angel wings for years and years, been a while but I don't recall having to stake them until they were much taller. Just their massive pillows of pink flowers.

Thanks
