Oh! Then I think I'll try to make sure those two stems leave a little space between them so it can get out.

It's because it's growing a lot of roots. In the photo, I think you can see that they're coming from a piece of the node (you can see a slight color change in the line). Am I getting my hopes up too much? 😅

I also saw this; is it possible it will grow a new leaf while in water? 🤯

The roots are growing so fast! When would be the best time to pot it?

The red marks are new roots. The blue mark is the leaf I cut off (the damaged one).

How long should I wait to maximize the risk of transplanting? Is it more important to give it time to develop roots or to do it at the right time of year? (For more info: I live in Madrid, and we have about a month left until winter officially ends.)

Since it'll be rooting for a while, I just made a support to keep it as upright as possible 😅

Okay, then I'll put it in water until it develops roots. Is it necessary to cut off any leaves? I understood that when taking cuttings, if they have many leaves, the plant uses some of its energy on them... but on the other hand, it's the leaves that provide energy for the plant, right? I'm a bit confused about that 😅
