Where the leaf is attached is called the node- that’s where your roots will grow from. I cut about 1/4” above and below each node, let them callus over a few hours to overnight (this helps prevent rotting). Then just pop the node end in some water, give it lots of bright indirect light, and wait! If you have a fish tank or access to one, fish tank water does wonders for growing roots lol

So on my cutting I would cut them on the blue lines I drew?

I would make the bottom cut only, and leave the top part with 2 leaves on it. Just because that top node doesn’t look fully developed yet and that’s where your new growth will come from on that piece. But yes, you got the idea!

look for a small aerial root like the one lindsey circled on her plant and make sure your cutting has at least one and that it stays submerged
