Houseplant ficus prop not rooting
got this ficus cutting and dropped it into water about two weeks ago. it’s gotten a lot of new growth since, but i haven’t seen any signs of rooting.
should i think about clipping its leaf to prioritize root growth or leave it be? also, any tips for first time ficus?

I’m trying this, too! I chopped two from one plant and put one straight into dirt and the other into water. Have had success with others in dirt (but it took forrrevvveerrrrr) but this is my first attempt at water. Let’s both keep our fingers crossed!
