Hi everyone! I’m new to plants and someone is giving me a clipping from a string of hearts. What is the best way to get it rooted? TIA!

The easiest way is to just propagate it in water. Make sure at least two nodes are submerged. The rest of the leaves should remain above the water line. You should see roots appear within a couple of weeks. When you have about an inch of roots or more you can transfer it to soil.

Good luck and let us know how it goes!
