Personally I put root hormone on the node and put it in water until they have some white roots popping out then I put it in dirt. Some people just stick them right into some soil

### Leafy commented on 2024-04-07

I’d also suggest water propagation, keep the nodes submerged and changing the water once every week works for me. Best of luck.

### Shelbop commented on 2024-04-07

I would personally chop them to just below a node, tie them together and pop them in a glass where they are upright. As Leafy has suggested changing the water every week, IMHO I would just top up with rain or filtered water as there will be valuable growth hormones in the water that the plant puts out. Once a month use a Hydroponic not general liquid fertiliser. Wait until your roots have secondary roots before planting in soil. ☺️

Do you have a suggestion on the hydroponic fertilizer! I’d love to use some for my propagation plants as well as plants in self watering pots!

#### Shelbop replied on 2024-04-10

I use right now.

Some of those stems look water logged or on the verge of only cover the node with water! What was suggested above ^^ tie them so they can stand up and only have the water cover the node. The way you have them all laying down would work if they were in wet soil not just water :)
