How to Grow With Your Brass Butterfly Vase
- Select Your Plant Cutting: Choose a healthy stem about 4-6 inches long.
- Prepare the Cutting: Using clean, sharp scissors, make a clean cut just below a leaf node. Gently remove the leaves from the lower 4 inches of the stem., leaving the top leaves intact.
- Fill the Vase with Water: Fill your Brass Butterfly vase with water. Ensure the water level covers the bottom of the cutting without submerging the leaves.
- Place the Cutting in the Vase: Insert the cut end of the stem into the water. Ensure it is stable and remains submerged.
- Provide Indirect Light: Place the vase in a location with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can cause the water to heat up and harm the cutting.
- Change the Water Regularly: Change the water every week or two to prevent stagnation and promote healthy root growth. Use room temperature water for the best results.
- Monitor for Root Growth: Over the next few weeks, your roots will begin to grow. This process typically takes 2-4 weeks, depending on the plant species.
- Transplant When Ready: Once the roots are a few inches long, you can transfer the cutting to soil. Plant it in a pot with well-draining soil and water it thoroughly.
- Keep Your Plant Thriving in Water: If you would like to keep your plant in water long-term, you can regularly trim the roots to prevent overgrowth. This will help maintain a healthy balance and keep your plant thriving in its vase.
