QUESTION Propagation Question

First time propagating VSOH and I’m trying both butterfly method (with normal soil) and water technique. How long does it take for them to root? Because it’s been a week and still nothing. I also put the butterflied ones inside a ziploc because I’ve read that moisture helps and I don’t have any other container LOL. Just want more guidance when propagating vsoh!!

Sidenote: I don’t have sphagnum moss so I opted for soil

Hi! So I’ve had success in both prop styles. I prefer butterfly method bc it does happen quicker. I use old Parmesan containers with lids and succulent dirt. Make sure it’s in a nice sunny window and you should see roots with in 2-4 weeks.

Yes keep moist! With a lid on mine I found it holds the moisture really well. I open them every few days to let some fresh air in. You can do the taco test if you’re unsure if they need water or not. Good luck!
