Hi! I got this philodendron paraiso verde cutting for free the other day from a plant shop. Curious how to propagate it well. Somebody told me I shouldn’t have it just in water but not sure what to do with it then. SOS

ps I have had it in water since I got it three days ago

Keep it in water and change it out every 3 days. If you have a pothos, take some cuttings from it and place it in with your new plant. Pothos, when propagating in water, release a chemical on their own to promote its own healthy root growth. This hormone or chemical will help other cuttings grow roots faster as well.
