Can you propagate this type of plant in water?

@HFplantoasis hi there, like @VenusianPlants said, we will need a picture so we can see what we’re working with here, But this is some info on propping anthuriums from @SuperbRaspfern Shannon:
Anthuriums can’t be propagated like a pothos, you will need to cut below an aerial root, let it callous overnight, and you can put that bottom segment in the water. Make sure the aerial root is *not* submerged or it will rot.
You could also use damp moss or perlite.
If using moist moss or perlite cover the aerial root with moist moss. NOT WET.
Put in a container and keep the lid covered to add lots of humidity. That replicates how they reproduce in nature since they are epiphytes.
The reason they need the aerial root is because it provides your cutting the energy and head start for faster root growth. Without an aerial root it takes a very long time so they usually end up rotting.
If you provide enough humidity, (keeping the container sealed). The humidity help roots grow from the already developed aerial root.
Without the aerial root it needs to start from scratch and develop roots out of the node. Which is extremely difficult with a anthurium.
