Ben's care tips:

• We recommend keeping the cutting in moist sphagnum moss until it has rooted. Then it can be potted in the soil recommended under the point substrate.
Alternatively, these offshoots can also be cultivated in water.
Due to the growth habit of the mother plant, offshoots of this plant are often cut slightly shorter than most other offshoots.
Position the frag so that the cutting edge of the frag just touches the water surface but is not completely submerged in the water.

We received this picture from one of our customers who also received the care instructions mentioned.
