Coil the string of turtles around into the pot. Make sure the nodes are in good contact with the soil and just wait until the node roots. Then you can separate it from the parent plant.

You can also water prop them. I did both methods and am seeing results from water prop not the stringing over the soil but maybe it just takes longer. I don’t really know for sure.

I domineering in water. I trim whole sections (10-15 strings) then put the bottom nodes in water. Then once I have hairlike roots, I plant them in soil.
