# Hey! I have this absolutely beautiful wandering jew that is over 4…

Hey!

I have this absolutely beautiful wandering jew that is over 4 feet long. it is my absolute favorite plant and i would love to prop it! i just have no clue how. about two weeks ago a small part fell off when i was pulling off some dead leaves and it looked like it had some little nodes on it so i put some rooting hormone on it and stuck it in some soil. the bit that was in the soil almost immediately died, but the rest is still a vibrant green. any suggestions on what i should do?

I have success propagating in water

It propagates well in water as long as a node or two is under the water, make sure no leaves are in the water (snip them off). I didn’t use rooting hormone with mine, just kept it in bright light (it would get the west setting sun at the end of the day)

Awesome, Thanks!

Mine have propagated quickly in water! Roots will sprout from the nodes. And make sure there’s no leaves being submerged. They are very easy to prop!
