Proud mama! This silver inch plant is the cumulation of 4-5 clipping I took from a plant that had rot. They came back strong!

I propagated mine a week or so ago and added a few more cuttings today for fullness but noticed a few curling leaves from the original propagation stems. Is this expected of lower leaves? I noticed them straightening up so thought those were all good signs. But the curled leaves has me wondering

Were they propagated in water first with roots starting?

Directly in soil from cutting

### Shana commented on 2026-08-03

Ah I did it in water

### Green thumb novice commented on 2026-08-03

I read that it could be planted directly in soil which seemed so easy so I tried it. Hoping the curling is just on the lower leaves and will see some new growth. 🤞

Yay!! Great job!

I just propagated a silver inch plant after rescuing it from a nursery with a bad spider mite infestation. There’s something so satisfying about taking a sickly plant and giving it a new lease on life!

My cuttings currently

I’ve ordered some wandering jew Plants in the mail multiple times, little ones that were actually just clippings plugged into the dirt which I didn’t realize at first. They all died. I would put them in water with some root boosting hormone. I use this stuff from Amazon that takes two drops per cup of water. I use it every time my water my plants actually and then I use fertilizer every other time.
