What’s happening? I’ve tried hydrogen peroxide and cutting off the ends but they just went back to brown at the tips. It’s growing a new leaflet so it’s clearly growing. What do I do?! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/v1_fbEAO-Ky9XcfE-U4UM9DR-ig_Zt_v7jcbU_3QLxY/Pk7DDXYhRgCAuAw2t05mtg.webp?size=large) ## 16개의 댓글 ### Abbeywabby🪴🎍님이 2025-05-05에 댓글을 남겼어요. I think it just may be developing harder roots in the water. I wouldn’t cut them anymore and let them grow longer so you can plant it soon. #### Terryn님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. I’m not wanting to plant it. I want to keep it in water! #### Abbeywabby🪴🎍님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. ohh gotcha! Yeah, I say just let it develop. Don’t cut its roots anymore and if possible, get it a bigger container to be in so it can spread its roots. #### Michelle’s Hobby님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. That’s what’s happened to mine. Mine is in a planter with a betta fish. Plant seems to like it. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/gtEimb4Ip4Yrouu_MVb5JeoLq5GwE8yKJVnuh6vE-Qs/f0ILJcKMQ5etc0DxkS_epQ.webp?size=large) #### Abbeywabby🪴🎍님이 2025-05-06에 답변했습니다. awe it’s such a small container for the little guy 😢 ### Ashlynn님이 2025-05-05에 댓글을 남겼어요. I water propagate all the time and sometimes this happens! No need to worry unless plant is doing bad or the roots are mushy! Sometimes weirdly enough water roots just turn brown😂❤️ #### Terryn님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. Thanks!!!! Would you agree, no more cutting? #### Terryn님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. Also, how deep do you put your plant in the water? #### Ashlynn님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. I’d say so! Sorry it’s blurry lol but for reference here’s a pro I’ve had going for a bit! Never been in soil! You can see faintly the back root on the left is all white but the main ones are dark dark brown for me! The have a mind of their own🤪 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/8rUpq23WPpQeLhBY_J3K3o4y-lMFEItYuYr5UKe1BM4/mtK7Bg09S1CWJBkzRpKjhA.webp?size=large) #### Abbeywabby🪴🎍님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. just enough for the roots to get water, but not too much of the actual plant cause I can start rotting if it’s fully submerged #### Ashlynn님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. About here if you’re worried but honestly🫣 I fill mine to the top, but I haven’t propagated this plant specifically. \*Some plants\* won’t get mushy stems or anything in water!! Just depends! ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/8rUpq23WPpQeLhBY_J3K3o4y-lMFEItYuYr5UKe1BM4/C4QSavNCSgK9ezxX2H6V0Q.webp?size=large) _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ ### Yolanda님이 2025-05-05에 댓글을 남겼어요. The roots will change color if you plan on leaving them in water. Do you change the water every week so good oxygen will remain in the water also this prevents algae in the water #### Terryn님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다. Yes I do. Thanks for the help! ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2025-05-05에 댓글을 남겼어요. As long as they are firm. The roots are turning brown because they are exposed to light. #### Terryn님이 2025-05-05에 답변했습니다.
