After 5 hours sitting in water, I place them in soil, mist them and cover them like @Nate G. do. The next morning, they almost fully open, I discover that the small one is a duo and the big one is cluster of 4 plants, a quartet!!! I only buy 2 plants from John but it turn out to be 6 plants 🤣 BUT there's one problem, I see some white hair-like fiber under some leaf, MOLD!!! I bet it is because of the rain water I use to mist them ( since I have no distilled water and tap water in my state is full of mineral stuff) and the dead leaf's sponge like structure that hold water causing mold to grow. I go to Lowe's to buy some limestone and put them in the soil and also remove some dead leaves to prevent mold. Ordered grow light on Amazon but it won't arrive til next week, so I use aquarium led light for now. I also found another plant in the garage that my lil sis bought before, it look so pale brown and I don't think it is alive, but I will give it a try and see if the core is somehow alive. Since I don't have a tent to keep the humidity high, I will use a small aquarium as alternative and barely cover them to increase the humidity. (To be Continue)

Gary, Tropical species are probably not all that much different than the temperate species in ease of propagation. However they are in two different sections: most temperate species in Tetragonostachys and almost all tropical species in Stachygynandrum. The basic difference is that the "Tetras" can handle drought and have leaves that spiral around the stem while the "Stachy" really need moisture and humidity to do well and have flat stems with leaves ranked along the stem edges. If well grown both types can prove to be spreading. While I am currently growing one species of Stachygynandrum native to North America, S. apoda, outside with the Tetragonostachys species, I would not expect most os the Stachygytnandrum species to do well outside in North America except in areas where humidity is constant snd sufficient to allow growth. Some are naturalized in the southeast USA with S. kraussiana surviving as dumped plants in two reported locations in northern California. I believe there are only 2 species of the Tetragonostachys in Florida and both are probably endangered to nearly extinct. I would hope an effort to master cultivation of these species is being undertaken and if not should be. If you examine the images the plant subject D has rhizoids evident along the stem. If the propgation is healthy and has several of these rhizoids evident then if the media is acceptable the plants should root readily. I guess I need to find the time to work up some reports on the Stachygynandrum species I am growing beside what I have already posted at Photobucket. Here is a link that might be useful: To access the 3 Stachygynandrum species use the menu on the left side under Albums

The polka dot's legginess is an indication that more light is desired. I would pinch it back and, "yes" the cuttings can be rooted in a moist media. (Have never tried water them, personally.) Is the fluor. lighting only on after dark? You may need to add supplemental lighting during the day. Conversely, you could move the terr to a brighter area though that can entail increased risk of overheating. Selag sometimes "sulks" after repotting. I've had times wherein most of the selag I would add to a terr would die off but a few small pieces would survive and eventually refill the area. Does the soil you are using have fertilizer added? Do keep in mind that water quality becomes more important in a terr system as there is no place for excess mineral salts to get washed away to. Keeping the terr sometimes covered and sometimes not might be creating an issue -- depending how radically the humidity keeps changing.
