I have a hard time throwing away any plant cutting so I always have jars, cups and glasses of water with cuttings in them sitting around. Some plants like Coleus will last months and look beautiful growing in just water.
I'm sure you have access to Coleus plants where you are, Savannah. They are very commonly grown in summer, and come in a stunning array of colorful foliage. Just find someone with a nice big plant growing in their garden, and ask for a cutting or two.
