I’m so scared!! I want to get a cutting of my Rob but I don’t know where! Will someone attach a photo of my plant with where to cut pls? And how long do you keep it in water after cutting?

make sure each has a node and a leaf  
keep in mind that they take A VERY long time to root  
mine took 2.5 months

also make sure after you cut off the leaf and node you want to let the cutting callus over before putting the cutting into water to prevent root rot. also recommend using rooting hormone like rooting powder or paste to also further prevent root rot and to help speed up the root growth process. Good luck!

How long does it usually take to callus before you put it into the water?
