I’m getting into plants because of the benefits they give off, I’m trying to propagate a eucalyptus plant. I have put the 4-5 inch stem in a glass of honey water. And will transfer to soil when there are roots sprouting. Any more tips?

I haven't noticed any huge benefit with honey. Keep the cutting in an open and well lit area, make sure it is in glass so that you can monitor for any possible root rot.
