Do not water the cutting to start off. Give the cutting light and heat. After 3 weeks, give the cutting a 1/2 a cup of water. Water with a 1/2 cup of water about every week. In about 1 to 2 months, you will see leaves start to sprout. When you see leaves, it is now time to water. Once you have 5 inch leaves, the cutting has now rooted and is ready to be watered thoroughly every week. Light and heat makes the cutting root, not water.
We provide great rooting instructions with each of our orders.
