One of my arrow plant stems broke off while I was trying to repot it. Can this be put in water and will it grow roots?

Yes it will! If you look at the stems you’ll see the bump/ridges with little nubs point out. Cut right below and put that in water and roots will grow in 2-3 weeks

Yep, they propagate pretty quickly too! I change out the water if it starts to get murky (some people do every week but I find that a bit wasteful for me)
