Crazyplantpersonā²ļøI may be wrong but that just looks like scabbing on the cutting (which is a good thing!) I could be totally wrong but thatās what it looks like to me.

Saarah AamilahIf your plant didnāt fully callous after it was cut from the plant before putting it into the water, this may just be a bit of rot! Which isnāt a concern since the roots are happy, shouldnāt affect the plant at all. You could cut it, but itāll do that again if itās not left to callous for a couple hours!

To let it callous just need to leave it sitting somewhere outside of the water for a couple hours after cutting! I donāt know the exact amount of time necessary, but youāll be able to tell itās calloused by the cut portion almost looking scabbed. I wish I could describe it better. But itāll look different then when you first cut itš

To me it doesnāt feel mushy. someone on Reddit told me to use a little hydrogen peroxide have you heard of or tried that?

yes. thatās only for root rot. you donāt need to. if it ever gets mushy, or another prop, cut it to where it isnāt, let it soak for a couple mins in 3:1 peroxide and water. then let it callus.

itās totally preference. my aunt has one in water thatās been trailing. i just know soil provides nutrients so if we keep in water, weāll need to find the best fertilizer. happy growing!

allieI think the extra bit of stem below where the roots are growing from will just rot in the water. Iād cut off whatever is below the roots. Iād also leave it in water a bit longer to get some secondary roots before moving to soil
