*Cuttings vary depending on the age and color of the plant they're taken from.
To ensure optimal growth and prevent the risk of root rot, it is advisable to maintain a shaded environment for the cutting. This shading helps protect the delicate cutting from excessive sunlight exposure, which can lead to moisture loss and stress. Additionally, it is important to refrain from watering the cutting until it begins to develop roots. Once roots begin to develop you may introduce it to more sun and water it every couple weeks unless it's getting rainfall.
