How can I successfully root cuttings in water?

To successfully root cuttings in water, follow these steps:

1. Choose a healthy plant stem with several nodes.
2. Cut the stem at a 45-degree angle just below a node.
3. Place the cutting in a container of water, making sure the nodes are submerged.
4. Change the water every few days to prevent rot.
5. Keep the cutting in a warm, bright location but out of direct sunlight.
6. Roots should start to form in a few weeks. Once roots are established, transplant the cutting into soil.
