Can you take a pic of it out of the glass. Need to see if there is a node. If not it’s not going to do anything.

i doesn't look like it has a node :(

Unfortunately there’s no node. It’s just a leaf. It won’t grow.

As long as you have a node for propagating, you’ll get a full plant. If it is only a leaf, you might end up with a leaf that has roots

I have propagated a fiddle leaf in water before, just make sure there are nodes! I see someone posted a picture of what that looks like. Also, you have to be super patient!! I have one propagating right now and it’s been a month and there are just little tiny specks of what will hopefully be roots eventually!!

#### Ava respondió el 2025-02-06

ok sounds great!
