Propagating fiddle leaf — ARE THESE ROOTS?


I cut new growth from a fiddle leaf and began trying to water propagate it about 4-5 weeks ago. I removed the lower leaves on the stem, keeping three at the top. I placed it in a corner of our apartment with lots of natural light and I change the water weekly. It developed these calcifications around week 2 but has not developed roots. What am I doing wrong?

    Not roots, they are calluses, quite normal when propagating woody stems in water. That does not mean it is rooting yet.

    This happened to my money tree! Sat in water for months and no roots just those things. I almost tossed it and out of nowhere tons of roots!!
