A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was attempting to propagate the house plant gifted to us by friends. It’s been a learning experience, both in the actual process and in practicing patience.

I’ve never been great at that. Maybe it’s rooted in ADHD, maybe not – but I have a tendency to rush ahead for better or worse. With this, however, there’s not much of a choice other than to “wait and see.”

The leaves in the planter look healthy still, but I’m also trying to propagate in water with a few clippings. With a heartleaf philodendron plant it can take something like 4-5 weeks, maybe more, for roots to start showing. I’ve seen people recommend waiting for those roots to grow more roots before moving it to a planter.

There’s a part of me that wants to call it another failed project or to childishly blame it on my own lack of skill but I’m trying my best to just let it be.

We’ll see how it goes.
