Is this how you propagate correct correctly and can I propagate this fern and water as well new to propagating!

I don’t think fern can be propagated in water as with other plant types. I believe they are “divided” with each separation needing a root system that is then planted. Best of luck 🪴

The others look good?

Are the others also ferns or do they have a thicker, fleshy stem?

Ps. I apologize for not being able to see the little root upon first look. 🪴

Your other two look decent - are they succulents?  
The fern I cannot help with. They don’t live in my house really
