Take off the very bottom one, spritz/dip the cutting with peroxide to kill any bad bacteria. Put in water that is enough to cover the stalk and not the leaves bc leaves will rot. I also recommend some peroxide in the water with the plant to help with algae/mold growth. Goodluck! She’s very pretty

I agree with the first comment! One note is that if you start noticing any rot or unwanted algal growth that worries you you could also propagate in damp sphagnum moss w/perlite. I’ve had more luck with it than plain water, though it could be because of the conditions of my apartment
