Hi everyone !!🌱💗 This is my first time ever buying plants and my first time propagating, so I’m very new and learning as I go. I’m currently propagating: • Rare Pink Fury Tradescantia • Rare Pink Tradescantia • Big-leaf Callisia repens Rosato I’ve placed them in small clear jam jars. Most of the leaves are above the water (as you can see in the photo), and the water level only reaches the stems/nodes,not the leaves. I’m based in the UK, so we don’t get much sun here 😅 I’ve read that these plants don’t need direct sunlight, but I just wanted to ask,what’s the best way to make sure they thrive and don’t rot while propagating ?? Any tips or reassurance would mean a lot ,thank you so much! 🤍🌿

    Beautiful cuttings, I’m so glad you are propagating those beautiful plants. With my Tradescantia I made sure to remove leaves below the water. Then I changed the water weekly. I didn’t have any rot or cloudy water. Water changes also make sure there is air available to the plant. Roots form fast with this one. About 2-3 weeks. Then I keep doing my weekly water changes until the roots reach about 2 inches. Then I move into a potting soil mix. Enjoy the journey and congrats on your first plants and propagations. 🥰🍀🎉👏

    Changing the water out as the other person mentioned can prevent rot. You could also do distilled water + cleaning the initial cutting with hydrogen peroxide, or adding a tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide to the water when you first put it in. For species that take a long time to root, sterilizing everything and using distilled water really helps
