Did Ido this right?


I just set up this cutting, there are no roots yet (besides the long aerial roots if you count those) and I was told by a couple people that this was the best way to go about propagating. soil is 60% native soil (my area is 30% sand 5% clay 20% organic matter and 45% leaves and other stuff that I sorted out) 15% mix of compost and other organics and 25% bark chips. I did top dress it with the organic stuff due to the fact that i want to keep it outside and the sun will dry out the sandy stuff if its exposed to air in less than an hour. I know its not the typical aroid mix but it works and has similar drainage and allows me to easily control how much moisture is in the soil. I packed the pole looser than usual and tried my best to keep contact with the plant, but I probably need to stuff it a little more. It came from a screened in patio in florida zone 9a, im taking care of the plant for him and want to give it full sun, i know i definitely can't expose it to that yet but for now im keeping it in the very back corner of my patio until it roots, then I'll adjust the light. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, ive got some larger anthuriums and pothos on poles right now but im still learning a lot about them.

    In pic 3 about half way down-
    That is a petiole, not a stem, and shouldn’t be tied to the pole. I’m not sure if it is or not from the photo. Otherwise looks good to me.
