I actually just gave the plant another hair cut a few weeks ago - it just keeps on growing. I have heard of people successfully rooting the small plants directly in soil, but the few times I tried it they ended up drying out and dying. Probably, like you said, if you kept the soil moist, it might work fine. If you could leave the runner attached to the mother plant while rooting in soil that would increase the odds of success. But I have always preferred rooting in water because I can see what is happening (root grown, root rot) underwater, and they don't dry out. Good luck with the propagation.
Wow, this looks great! Do the "runners" just root in the soil?? Does it hav to be very wet for this to work?
