I let them callous over for a few days beforehand.
I’ve had a leaf take several week to grow roots, and then nearly a year once in dirt to actually grow a new shoot.
Goodluck!
Lay them flat on potting soil, mist from time to time, they won’t usually root in water.
The idea is to mimic the natural process where a leaf will break and fall on the ground to take root
Thank you :) Would you cut off the lowest centimentre that was laying in water or would you put them on soil immediately?
I never callus mine. I trim my overgrown ones with a wide "^” shape (upside down ‘V’). I stick them in a jar of water like yours and let it face the sun. Occasionally refill the water and rinse if necessary – sprouts roots like crazy and even further sprouts. Fun fact: they thrive in water!!
I couldn’t get mine to do anything in water. Last resort I just threw them in dirt and bam…got roots. Just recut them and stick em in.
