They will do better if you add sphagnum moss also. I have several glasses like that for props.

Yes, it’s alright! But with them you can put them in fitting soil right away — I’ve tried both ways and it turned out the same.

They do better going straight into a pot imho. I’d expect rot straight in water only. Maybe better if held up more by perlite or something so the bottom wouldn’t get soggy.

I have always had pretty good success with Thanksgiving cactus in only water, it’s the first plant I started with propping and I’ve propped SO many over the years to gift. I never tried straight into soil. I have a bunch of pieces to prop, I’m going to try soil and water and see which yields better results. Thank you all for this conversation. 😊

Can I ask why you’re using bark? Everything I’ve read just says to use a well draining soil mix, like 3 parts soil 1 part perlite.
