You have lots of time. And depending on how you’re going to propagate it, if in water, your already doing it!!!

this looks to be just a leaf. leaves on their own do not grow roots and will rot in a few days.

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2026-07-24

Oh ur right. I just took a better look. Looks like just the leaf and no node. Unless it’s a begonia of some sort, it won’t root from a leaf.

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2026-07-24

Looks like a Caladium.

### Franke Tanker 78541 commented on 2026-07-24

It is

### Franke Tanker 78541 commented on 2026-07-24

So does that mean it won’t grow 😢🥺🥺

### Franke Tanker 78541 commented on 2026-07-24

I looked it up. It won’t grow….

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2026-07-24

No unfortunately not. It will not grow…
