# I received these cuttings of silver heart philodendrons with no…

I received these cuttings of silver heart philodendrons with no leaves. It looks like each just has the main node at the bottom with the rooting beginning. Only the middle one has another node about halfway up.

What’s the best way to continue to propagate? I’ve had success growing from leafless nodes in sphagnum moss and a makeshift greenhouse. Thinking of trimming down the stems and doing the same with these.

Does that seem right?

Yes! I don’t use Sphagnum moss personally. Instead I used stratum/perlite mix and throw into a Tupperware container and open up every few days for air flow.

I prop in water with prop drops and I've had good success with all my props when transferring to soil.

Same! But going for moss for these to encourage leaf sprouting from the node 🤞🏼🤞🏼
