Would you say the red line leaf is worth trying to save with the rest of the sad roots it has now?

I’ll try making those cuts and post a follow-up on how it works out. I’ll probably keep the blue and purple together like you said, but drop the purple if it struggles.

Here are the clippings. One more question I guess, do the tops of the clippings’ stems need to be sticking out of the water or is it okay that they are submerged while in water to grow roots? They are just so short, but I suppose I could use bread ties to hold them in position.

Okay so what would you consider a good leaf? I drew lines where I guessed might be good to cut above. The red on is big and not completely yellow, the blue and purple ones look good but are somewhat close together. The purple one has a root nodule opposite of the leaf/stem connection and one more below it, opposite of the bad leaf I would prune below it, so it would have two nodules, but would it just be better to put the purple and blue together one one cutting? The orange one also has one node opposite and one node below it.

Here is the other one I put in water right away and is doing better. How much do you let the roots grow before putting it in soil? And would you recommend changing the water every 1-2 days? It’s hard to know what advice to listen to.

Thanks for the in-depth reply. I put it in some water and out of the direct sunlight. How can you tell if there is root rot? I’m guessing the moisture control soil must be the kind that retains, because I havent watered it for a few days but it feels slightly damp.

How can I tell if there is enough root to support the plant? And if I trim it back to a leaf node, do I include a leaf?

Here are some pictures of the root and leaf node: https://i.postimg.cc/CLKyzxD2/IMG-3572.jpg

A few days ago. I’m trying not to do too much at once but I don’t want to wait if it needs a change. The person I got it from said to just try the roots in a glass of water for a few days and then transfer to soil with not too much water if it looks better.

Thanks for the suggestion. It looks like the credit unions around me do have similar or a slight bit better rates. And I do like the idea of keeping my money more locally.

That’s a really interesting idea. That makes me think it would even be better in the sense that the data would be protected rather than risk a cloud service going out of business or changed their storage location. Not that that is a likely scenario but still.
