Absolute rookie, complete newbie here who knows nothing about propagation … Have a few branches from a mature olive tree – probably been through some trauma and also was in and out of water for about 3-4 weeks (there was no one to watch over it). Now more stable and been in water for 1.5 week, changes water frequently, mostly indirect light but yesterday moved to a sunnier spot. Today notice it's growing white fuzz!!! Lots of it too. What is this? Have I messed up and killed it? š

Take it out, wipe off what you can. Donāt damage any growth of roots. You might need to do a 3% alcohol solution to help clean it up. Change out the water each week. Itās a common thing you see in water props.
Iām 99% sure u canāt root olive or at least not to a significant amount. Itās usually spring semi hardwood cuttings with hormone in perlite or well draining media
