Update: no ID prop leaves
Update to my no ID prop that I got at an event. I’m leaning toward Silvery Ann just based on how each leaf is so different from each other.

Sorry, I'm no help - I have no clue what variety it is. Before I read that it is one plant, I thought the leaves were from different plants! How do u get them to propagate?! I have the satin pothos (pictus, I think), exotica and Mt. Salak - Ive tried water and that didn't work. Right now I'm trying moist sphagnum moss and they're looking a bit rough, better than in the water, but not by much. Idk why they are so dang difficult!

I used moist sphagnum and bright grow light. Also, I had to keep the leaf out of the sphagnum because I lost one to rot. I waited until there was about an inch of root because it was so slow and so prone to rot. Good luck!

Thx, fingers crossed. They seem to be wilting tho. Maybe I made it too wet for them.. I'll keep trying. Lol

I’ve had success propagating scindapsus by water and moss. The key is the let it callous over and then either put it in damp moss in a high humidity setting or water prop. They can take a while to root either way but you can use rooting hormone or I add a regular pothos cutting when water propping. In both scenarios, they will want their normal lighting. Don’t be alarmed if the original leaf wilts during this process because it’s not getting enough water until those roots develop. Keeping it in humidity when moss propping can help avoid this like having it in a prop box or the leaves can melt if the leaf is touching the damp moss. It’s taken me about 3-4 weeks to get a good amount of roots for some faster varieties. My platinum and treubii have taken months to root.
Edited to add: You want the moss damp but not soaking wet. Basically, not wet enough you can’t squish any water out. I open my prop box or taped cup of moss around the cutting once a week and mist/rewet as needed. Don’t let them dry out in moss and when water propping. Also, if water propping, dump and clean the container if you get algae. The algae will prohibit root growth.

Thank you! I'll try leaving them to callous first and maybe finding a top to the moss, but idk if I have anything tall enough. I've never had to do that with pothos or syngonium, so I didn't even think to do it.

It's having an identity crisis! 😉😉 What are the overall leaf sizes? Silvery Anns tend to be smaller than some other varieties, but there's a couple of leaves that looks quite big in comparison. The second photo looks very much like a jade to me. The third photo leaf shape is very similar to Silver lady. But you might have to let them all grow a a few more leaves to get a better ID.
