How many years will it take for these to stop being rootless?
Had them in water for a few weeks and changed the water every few days but the ends still rotted and i let them callous for like a week or so before that
I have better luck separating the rhizomes of ZZs. I’ve never been able to water propagate them.

I’ve propagated two by just putting them into water when they came off the plant, didn’t cut them off. I also didn’t let anything callus, straight into water. They started rooting after a couple of weeks, left them in water for a few months, it took ages for new stems to grow after I planted them, though.
Like 1 and a half months. Are you sure yours are getting enough light? Thats probably the issue

Ive had sporadic luck with rooting whole stems. The method that’s been more successful for me (even though I initially thought it sounded completely crazy) is the leaf prop method. You pull a leaf off and stick it in soil. Then it starts growing roots directly from the leaf base and eventually makes a rhizome shape thing where another stem grows. It’s pretty cool!

I have two stems in water with pothos cuttings and they both are starting to root!

Mine took 4 months to start bulking up in the base, then 6 months for roots
