Hi plant friends! Did I do this prop correctly in LECA? I know I’ve been told this plant can take a long time to prop, but I feel like months is too long. And the bottom nodes sometimes rot in water prop so I thought I’d switch it up for a chance to save this. I was thinking the nodes sit within the LECA, but the water is under the nodes to not saturate the nodes but more for humidity to promote rooting..? TIA for any help out guidance 🤗

    It might not be getting enough light or fertilizer

      It hangs on the window facing east. Are you suppose to fertilize props?

    If it's been sitting for months, it lack nutrients. Was it growing in pon or soil ?

      It was previously growing in soil when I first got it a few months ago, but I must’ve had inconsistent watering that this is all that’s left that hasn’t died or rotted. I’ve only propagated what remains in water up until a couple days ago when I cut off the bottom again, let it callus, and placed in LECA this morning

    Since it's was already existing plant, it need fertilizer after a month or so.
