I got a silver inch plant cutting from a friend today, should I let it callous before i put it in water? Or can I just stick it straight in?

Silver Inch Plants root like crazy so you can put them right in water. I actually usually put them right into the soil. They’re probably one of the easiest plants to propagate. Happy growing!

Thank you!!

Agreed! Straight into the dirt they go!

I still like to let them callous and add a little super glue just to be safe! They root quickly but can still definitely just rot
