LOL I love the name Keanu Leaves. Sorry I don’t have any propagation tips. I recently started adding some silica to my plant water though and they love it.

I saw ‘prop drops’ was really good

I have yet to get it myself

I would put a Pothos cutting in with it

Or a basil cutting. I’ve found basils root pretty much instantly so I’ve usually propped them with others and get roots super quick.
