Sorry. Never worked for me
I don't believe they root easily in water, but you can try.

Cut stem, wait for toxic sap to finish oozing. Best leave overnight to let it callous. Apply growth hormone and stick in glass of water. Refresh water weekly. If successful you might get roots in a couple months
@Araceae thankyou :) i actually did it ig one or two weeks ago and it looks quite mushy maybe the roots are growingπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈalso didnt knew to leave it overnight so I'll do it this time
Out of 5 cuttings I have 3 that are looking well. I used rooting hormones and put them in 6 Oz cups filled with vermiculite. It helps if you take cuttings that are a little mature. Good luck!
@SmoothCobnut59 thanks I'll try :)
