Your Cutting Care Guide
How to care for your cutting
Keep it in water (for now)
Your cutting already has roots, which is the hardest part done.
Keep it in clean water, making sure:
The roots stay fully submerged
No eaves are sitting in the water
Top up the water every few days.
Keep in bright, indirect light
Place your cutting somewhere with good natural light, but out of harsh direct sun.
Near a window - soft, filtered light
Refresh the water regularly
Change the water every week.
This keeps things clean and gives your cutting the best chance to keep growing roots.
*Bonus step, want to really nourish your plant? Every water change add some of this plant food.
It’s what I used in the water to grow them.
When to pot it
Once the roots are around 5 - 10cm long, it’s ready to move into soil.
There’s no rush though! You can actually leave it in water longer if you like.
Potting your plant
When you’re ready:
Use a good quality indoor potting mix
Choose a pot with drainage
Keep the soil lightly moist (not soaking)
The first couple of weeks are about settling in, so be gentle with it.
What I personally use
You absolutely don’t need anything fancy - but if you want to give your cutting the best start, this is what I use:
Indoor plant food (this is what I used to grow your cutting)
A quality potting mix
Simple nursery pots with drainage
