I know that Iam a bit late to this thread but, my neighbour dropped this piece of Yucca off and said just chuck it in a bucket of water. 3 weeks later nice healthy roots.
I've managed to root a peperomia leaf that I accidentally pulled off my plant....I didn't think it was going to work after weeks of not doing anything, but I checked yesterday and it has roots (and leaves?!?). Yay!
I chopped off a rather large Yucca arm and threw it into a pile of rubbish and it took ages to die off - bet that woulda rooted in a bucket - I'll try it next time, I've got others.
In the meantime here's something I did try - celery. I know we all know it works but give me my moment 😁
I got Persicaria filiforma 'Lance Corporal' to root in water, rather quickly. Makes me wonder about trying other persicarias... Normally I'd just divide them but this method would leave the clumps in the garden intact...

I took normal cuttings in compost of Persicaria Red Dragon (similar to the one in the pic above, but redder) and they were rooted and growing away in not much more than a week.
