Meanwhile, I took a bunch of random bits of Plectranthus Swedish Ivy today off a small pot, and made cuttings to root. The pot itself turned out to be much drier inside than I expected, and even had a cavity where I must not have filled it well when I made that pot. Can't help messing with plants.


You're not alone.
Just finished trimming up my fridge-top spider plants (great light through double south-facing window, eyeing the soil and pumice and 30 plants I brought home last week).

How do you do your plec cuttings?

I normally just take a top with good growth, go down one or two leaf junctions, snip and remove the lower leaves, and go right into soil.
Closest to 100% propagation of any plant I can think of.

Water rooting works fine also, I just see no need, and the water root back to soil root thing slows the plant down in my experience.
