    Add liquid fertilizer if you can! It’s not a necessity, but since the plant can’t get nutrients from soil, it can definitely help with growth.

    i would advise you cut off some of those lower leaves. you ideally want whole nodes exposed to water for the most success anyways, but the petioles will rot when submerged like that

    If there are that many leaves remaining, the props may fail and wilt because they lose moisture through them. With no roots to take up water yet, I’d take those down to two full-size leaves, maximum.

      Seconded but keep all those nodes under water to grow roots from

    For what it’s worth, I think aglaonema are more successful propping directly into soil than water.
