Propagation of the String of Bananas can be done in two ways: propagating in water and propagating directly in the soil.
Put cuttings in water or soil
Here is the division between propagating in water or in soil.
The following applies to cuttings in water: Hang the cuttings of the String of Bananas in the container with water. Are the bottom “bananas” still touching the water? Cut these off the stem.
Do you choose to propagate directly with soil? Then cut the bottom “bananas” off the stem. Then put the stem in the soil. Instead of putting it in the soil, you can also place the cutting on the soil. Make sure that the place where you cut the bananas is well on the bottom.
Waiting for root growth
Do not overwater the cuttings in soil. Make sure the soil dries up between waterings.
New roots can develop in the places where you cut the “bananas”. Cuttings in water will grow roots sooner than with soil methods. However, the soil method is less time consuming.
After about a month there will be enough roots on the cuttings. As soon as the roots are long enough, you can repot the cuttings from the water into the soil.
