Would love to help! Can we get more info—What are you noticing is going wrong? Can we see a picture of the whole cutting?

On one of the cuttings leaf is drying up, all of the 3 cuttings leafs are turning yellow, 2 of the 3 cuttings aren’t growing new leafs.

How often are you changing the water? You want to change it 1-2 times a week. I can’t quite tell if all the cuttings have nodes but they also should have atleast one node submerged in the water.

I change the water once a week, I got them at a plant swap for free.

One of the cuttings only leaf is dead and one of other cuttings leaf is dying, they all have nodes in the water.
