Congrats it’s a great feeling when they start growing! Question - is that paper towel prop? I’m new too and doing water and just started perlite soil for stubborn ones.

Yes it is! I seen this on tiktok. It just said to do the paper towel method to put a paper towel in the bottom of a shallow bowl (I used these little plastic cups) and keep them moist at all times and it’s been 4-5 days and I started seeing the little roots on 3 of them!
