Is this cutting alright? How long does it normally take for plants to root in water?

I’m new to propagating and I worry that I cut it from the wrong place. - I got the cutting from my friend, and put it in water on Saturday and we have done a bit of train traveling over the weekend. I’m also worried the change in environment might not help.

that’s a perfect cutting actually! depends on the plant for rooting speed though, but usually after a week or two i start seeing roots on propagations. the traveling probably stressed it out, but it should recover nicely :)

Thank you 🥺 I already feel so much better about it!! Hopefully I see some roots in a week or two - fingers crossed

they root faster with bright light like the other person said, but never do direct, especially on a cutting. hope it all goes well!!!

I've noticed my cutting shoot out roots when placed in bright indirect light just keep an eye on algae growth!

What kind of lighting do you think is best for it? 👀

I have frosted windows \& they love that diluted bright light!
