I found this little guy on the floor of my school library (that has plants) and needs help!

You just put it into water so there’s nothing really but time and waiting in this case.  
Inspect the roots and allow for patience

### Cassanova comentó el 2025-04-08

Oh! Also….. you have way too much water in a glass that doesn’t suite too well for its needs. Try something more shallow

Yours might end up drowning it… and this isn’t a professional opinion but I learned from mistakes .

Focus on the bottom where the roots are only

Ngl, why does it sound like a bad idea to keep plants in a library-

#### Sapphire respondió el 2025-04-08

However give that little guy something to prop himself up on, that way only the roots are touching the water. That looks like a dracaena and (from personal experience) they get rot easily.

I think it looks like a spider plant baby. I usually use an old spice jar to root those because the opening at the top is small enough to hold it up a bit

### Amy comentó el 2025-04-09

Looks like a spider plantlet? Maybe place it on a moist paper towel in a loose partially closed ziplock bag. The humidity might help the plant from drying out and the moisture from the paper towel will encourage root growth with (hopefully) not too much water leading to rot. That’s what I do when propagating my spider plant. GL

It looks like a spider plant to me! They propagate very well and grow quickly :)  
I have always stuck mine in water like you have yours and it was absolutely fine. They root quickly. They’re pretty hearty plants.
