Is this plant ready to propagate? And if so, how do I go about it?

clean blade to cut below those aerial roots that look like a cute little foot. you can root that in water (or soil probably, i’ve never done it)

Thanks! It would be my first time propagating anything.

go for water propping! let the cutting callous over for an hour or so and then drop it in water \& treat it like cut flowers — changing the water every few days or so

Syngoniums, like this Batik variety, can be propagated in both soil and water. I agree with eatyacarbs that water propagation is easier. Just put the cuttings in bright indirect light with one or two nodes below water. Fertilize with a little 50% diluted liquid fertilizer after the roots grow out. Plant in soil after the roots get at least 2 inches. I also add superthrive plant vitamins. 🍀🪴
