Hello!
I just completely trimmed by syngonium, and I read somewhere that syngonium can easily grow roots in water, so I put the pieces I trimmed off that still had leaves in pots of water! Is this the right way to do it? Or is it better to put them in soil?
And I also read you can just leave them growing in water, or is it better to take them out and put them in soil as soon as they have good roots?

I also cut off a bunch of tiny nodes where just a bit of green was peeking through (with root attached), should I place these in water (they will be dunked under, they're only little helpless torsos), or should I pot these?

Thanks in advance!

Syngonium in water will live a long time. I haven't played with it much but I think if you want it in pots, let it root a half inch in water, then pot it. Someone please correct me if that sounds bad.

The torsos, LOL! Might try putting the torsos on the surface of moist potting mix and enclose that in a bag, in a lighted place. And be patient. I would just toss them myself, but something might grow. Plants can be near miraculous which is the fun of them.
