# I have this beautiful Swiss cheese, but I have never done any…

_Lagt ut av Cassie den 2025-05-30_

I have this beautiful Swiss cheese, but I have never done any cuttings before, I’m new to the plant era 🤗. I was wondering if I could cut the top 2 leaves and put in water to root? Thank you for the advice and suggestions 🫶🏽

That’s your node, as long as you cut under one of those so that it’s part of the cutting, you can grow roots. This is where the root forms.

Thank you, I assumed that’s where I would need to cut below that, would it be best to put in water for roots to grow or put in soil?

Either or, personally I put some rooting powder on the nodes and keep it in water until it’s grown a big root system. They grow well and fine in water :-) if you want them to root faster, add a pothos cutting.
