I was given some trimmings and just found out I could propagate these. How low down to I remove leaves? Do I need to dip in growth hormone? Is it only in water or should I use seedling soil with water? Sorry for the lack of knowledge I’m excited.

The red lines are leaves I would definitely cut off, the blue are the ones I *might*, depending on how you’re propagating, and if you’re going the water route, the size and shape of the container. Soil or water would work. Powder hormone won’t work in water, but it’s great in soil.

These grow like weeds so you’ve picked a satisfying one to start propping with.
I do them in water, no hormones needed. Just make sure the bottom node is in water and no leaves are. They tend to grow enough roots to plant within 2-3 weeks IME.
