Looks right to me. Just be patient

### YinDeezy commented on 2024-02-18

How much light are the cuttings getting and what’s the average temp where they are placed?

#### Addy replied on 2024-02-18

it is in an east facing window at the moment, what direction should it be? the house is also kept around 65 degrees F.

if you have a south facing window i would put it anywhere in that room (not in direct sunlight though) and it will grow faster. mine go crazy with roots, sometimes the very next day. otherwise just have to be patient (:

#### YinDeezy replied on 2024-02-18

It’s only been two weeks. Sometimes the roots take a bit to activate. If you don’t see any progress by week 3-4, then I’d recommend placing in a brighter and warmer location if possible.

awesome. thank you so much!

### becca commented on 2024-02-18

Are you changing the water regularly?

#### Addy replied on 2024-02-18

i have changed it once since i started it. how often should i?

#### becca replied on 2024-02-18

It’s good to do it at least once a week to keep the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water high for roots to grow.

Mine are under grow lights and typically root well.

### Jes commented on 2024-02-18

I’ve noticed the older the stem is that I’m trying to propagate, the longer it takes to grow roots.
