I was given this cutting in water, please help me not kill it ??
I’m not new to indoor plants but have never had one of these guys before and am just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to keeping them thriving 😅 I want to plant it but have been too scared to
Keep it in water for now until the roots reach a healthy and fat 3 inches at least. Then put it in a 5 inch pot of basic indoor potting mix if you’re keeping it indoors! Water once weekly when the soil gets dry on the first few inches. The plant will droop when it’s thirsty! Keep it near a bright spot just no direct hot sun for more than a few hours a day. It thrives in bright, dappled light

Oh and get fertilizer(not miracle grow!) and use it once a month during the summer season!
