Propagation
So many questions!!!!!
1.Can I propagate this as is?
2.How long do I wait to dry out? Just broke off today. 3.Should I take Lower leaves off so they aren’t in water? My only prop station pictured also. Container is 5” tall
4. Should I add fertilizer to the water?
5. How often do you change the water?
Any other tips appreciated
TIA!!!

Hi! I loooove #waterpropagation - in my opinion you don’t necessarily need to wait for it to callous over. Though that’s usually 12-24 hours depending on the plant.
Yes I would remove lower leaves.
Change the water at least once a week. If it’s under a grow light or somewhere it starts to get algae or bacteria, change it more often!
I had been using a suuuuper diluted liquid Indoor Plant fertilizer from Miracle Gro but that’s just a basic option. There are better ones out there, plus rooting powder and etc.

I didn’t see the photo of your prop station but I’m sure it’s fine!
The node (elbow joint) is where roots will grow, all nodes in water will probably start roots! So it’s up to you to trim yo the cutting the way you like. Does that make sense? In theory you might be able to get a few cuttings from this piece if you don’t mind them being ugly and choppy at first 😎
Good luck! This is always so fun! 🌱☀️❤️

@RealSimpleMama it’s been three weeks, and I have zero growth.. is this normal? I have it in fresh water with liquid fertilizer and nothing. The air roots that were sticking out aren’t even growing. Help!
@ccgorplant hey let’s see if we can figure this out together. Can you upload some more photos? Including the container and where it’s located.
