Will aerial roots on a cutting make it root faster when propagating? Or would it not really make a difference?

What are you trying to propagate? If it’s a vining philodendron or a Pothos then they’re actually pretty quickly to root in water honestly! If you have some aloe you can also add that to the water as well it’s a natural root hormone! It’ll make the propagation process a bit easier and faster! Though plants also let out their own root hormone as well!

It can be faster, depending on the plant. To me, the presence of a healthy aerial root makes me more successful at propping. Regardless, all props share a jar with a pothos cutting. Someone told me that pothos sends out a lot of rooting hormone which helps the other plant. Not sure if it’s true.
