# The girl in front of me at the plant store today wasn’t paying…

_Posted by PlantLady on 2024-01-13_

The girl in front of me at the plant store today wasn’t paying attention and let the door close on the plant she had just purchased and kept walking. As I’m walking out I find this. What is the best way of propagating this piece? I’m guessing because it has aerial roots it should be able to grow, I just want to get it into the correct medium to encourage that growth.

Put in some water

things root fastest for me in perlite or a sphagnum/perlite blend. additional humidity is always helpful too

just put it in water and preferably near a window

Looks like a heartleaf philodendron 'Brasil'

I proped my philo Brasil in a small cup of watered soil with a plastic bag over it for 6 wks to keep moisture in. Once roots came out the bottom I transferred it to a 4” pot.
