Hi everyone! Has this in some water for about a week or two and the new shoot isn’t looking great. Any tips ??:)

    that new leaf isn’t going to make it but the roots there will grow and you’ll be able to get a new plant out of this anyway

    I’d cut the bottom of the stem so the cut is immediately below the bottom most node but without harming the node. I’d also cut it at a slight angle. Not too diagonal but not straight across either. That’s worked well for me whenever I prop 🫶🏻

    Give it light. About 12 hours under a grow light will help it grow new roots. Fertilize with a little diluted (50%) fertilizer after the new roots appear.

    That’s pretty normal, I think. The cutting doesn’t have the resources to grow both roots and a new leaf, so it’s letting the new leaf die to prioritize root growth, so it will ultimately survive. I think I count five nodes there and it looks like they’re all already turning themselves into roots. I don’t know if it good to have extra roots or not, but they’ll be fine if you let them be.
