Those are roots!! Inch plants root SO fast in water, one of the fastest plants I’ve ever propagated.

Definitely!

These are hard to kill. They quickly put down roots into neighboring pots at my house.

That’s good news ☺️ I’ve had inch plant cuttings be ready for soil in only 2-3 weeks, under the right conditions.

I have Purple Hearts in my outside hanging baskets this year and I’ve been propagating like crazy just by trimming them and sticking them directly into the soil. Easiest plants to propagate ever heh
