She doesn’t look to be wilting or dying she actually looks better than when I first placed her in water. ![Attachment 1 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/i-vr8PFrTB29SYGfYBL_vQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/gW2mkHlUQout-816s7Dlig.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/zM6Ci5GESYWJD6kBEmCJ9Q.webp?size=large) ## 16 comments ### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-06-16 I think a few of my cuttings took like 2 months, even with hormones. They can be really slow rooters in water #### Bri replied on 2025-06-16 Ok thanks ! Yeah I remember seeing somewhere they are slow as molasses when rooting but 😅 have you repotted yours and the leaves curled ? The rest of my pot hasn’t settled since the repot 🥲 #### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-06-16 The leaves on scindapsus are prone to curling. But watering it well after a repot can help #### Bri replied on 2025-06-17 I did water it good ! I think I just messed with the roots too much ? ### Sunny commented on 2025-06-16 Try planting pieces in different mixes. Put some in water, soil, perlite, sphagnum moss, and Leca. Add rooting hormone powder or liquid. Place under a grow light or in bright indirect sunlight.🪴🍀 ### LadyTenorJD commented on 2025-06-16 My scindapsus (different variety, not the one in this post) was curling when I purchased it. I could tell Lowe's overwatered him. Ive been trying different things, but not all the leaves have flattened out. I'm about to repot him. He's now outside instead of under a grow lamp, and I saw lots of improvement after this move. The cuttings have been in water 2 weeks and nothing yet. But IDC. I got time! 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/AboacEMzofgMfrznLZzL1c7RSpwY0Jg-cPxrMfXteJ0/byPvcdRKRv-lDgAtxMeb9Q.webp?size=large) #### Bri replied on 2025-06-16 🤣🤣 that’s what I’m saying, I got time 💪🏻 haha ### Llets commented on 2025-06-16 If you have a tradescantia or wandering Jew, put a clipping of that in with it. Tradescantia have crazy rooting hormones and help with rooting. #### LadyTenorJD replied on 2025-06-16 🤔 Heard that about pothos, but not tradescantia. I have several cuttings in water that need to repot. Perhaps I'm stealing one to put with my cuttings. #### Bri replied on 2025-06-25 I have also heard with pothos ! Just recently got a tradescantia so haha ### LadyTenorJD commented on 2025-06-16 @bri I talked too soon. Looked at my acindapsus cuttings a short while ago, and behold! 🤣 Roots that I did NOT see a couple of days ago! But most of the cuttings in there have none. Just 2 of 6 cuttings have roots. IDC. I still got time. 🤷🏽‍♀️😆 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/AboacEMzofgMfrznLZzL1c7RSpwY0Jg-cPxrMfXteJ0/csC9t7kzQJasgSYAQDFZvg.webp?size=large) #### Bri replied on 2025-06-25 Right there with ya ! 🤣 checked yesterday and I’m getting at least one root of this vine ! 🤩 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/mF1wFBtprkk8I02Lo5PDIAzab0TgZfkXEAm30vB7Ucg/GawPdpzgQauCqpCTHJZ-Yg.webp?size=large) ### Katm3281 commented on 2025-06-17 My cuttings have honestly took a month or two to finally grow. The leaves would shrivel up and turn yellow and I would just clip them off, put them in fertilizer water and tell them “you’re either going to survive with me or give up😂”. Eventually I was able to grow 2 out of 3 cuttings and pot them but there’s always one that just dies unfortunately. A trick I just learned is seal the bottom of the leaves with wax or glue to prevent rotting! #### Bri replied on 2025-06-25 lol yeah the leaves are so limp but no yellow or drooping leaves ! And I’ve finally got the smallest root on it ! 😆 that’s what I say either you like it here or you’re a goner 🤣 ### HazeyBean Gardens commented on 2025-06-17 I have had GREAT success with this! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/aYG58ltup7-i9JsJ_yIJmYFAMVOiTJlLUrPWqU2ezDE/hBB84umZTeiqkUTmNy-m_A.webp?size=large) #### Bri replied on 2025-06-25 I will have to try this ! I’ve been looking for some good prop drops and growth paste ! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
