I just pop them into water straight away.

I do the same as amateur plant mama, but technically you want to dry them until the cut part is completely dry

yeah i did put them in straight away last time and it rotted a lil bit so did some research and alot of ppl were saying you should let them callous to avoid rot

I usually wait overnight! (But like what everyone else says sometimes I get lazy and just put them straight in water)

The standard is 24 hours
