As the title says: could i keep this part of the plant and put it in water? I don't want to cut it up in little pieces 🙁

Thanks in advance!

    Yes, and then you may as well trim the rest of the leggy stem all the way down once you take the peice you like, so the plant isn’t putting any more energy into trying to fix it

    You don’t have to cut it up lol just cut it below a node. Chopping it up would just give you multiple plants if you can root them. Just makes the pot fuller.

    Yes! You could even repot the entire plant in a planter big enough to swirl the vine around and pin in place with the nodes in the soil. Then keep it moist until they root in!

    You could coil it like a cable and cover it with soil so it takes root. So far, clips have helped preventing it from uncoiling till it has some roots. Make sure it is not too deep and under no circumstances does it cover the leaves. Because there is so much plant material, you can also use a larger pot. However, there are also long pots. I imagine that would be very interesting, too.

    You could. Or you could wrap the vines around inside the pot and hold it down to the soil. The nodes will root and fill in the pot.

    I’m not understanding, you want to propagate it ?

    Yes just put the end in water to propagate

    Why? The rooty part is not going to grow any more leaves, cut and replant.

    You can root in water or dirt but the bare stem won’t grow any more leaves.
