Beginner Gardening: A success story, 1 by sajwani

I am usually posting out of desperation of some new houseplant dying so I thought I would post a success story. Considering my usual 50/50 chance of a houseplant of living, this was a miracle. A stem off my boyfriend's hanging "money" plant broke off once when we were moving. I laughed at him for taking the dying stick with its one measly leaf and putting it in a tall beer glass filled with water. Now, one year later it has sprouted tons of leaves and has an amazing root system. It does wonderfully simply sitting in its glass of water and partial/full sunlight. I do however wonder if I should try potting it ever? Or maybe just leave it alone. Fussing with it might disrupt the miracle.

btw if you see brown marks in the leaves, those are bite marks from my cat attempting to eat it
