# How do I best propagate a string of bananas? I just got the cutting…

How do I best propagate a string of bananas? I just got the cutting yesterday, and it looks a little small (especially the bananas). Does anyone know the best way to encourage growth?

This guy does look a little sad…I did one with mine before in water. It took a VERY long time, but it worked. I did cut off the lower leaves that are in the water though. Not sure if that will help.

Good luck!
