Can I do this in water or do I need equipment. Any tips would be appreciated.

I haven't personally cloned B. cappi in water. I have however cloned many pieces of B. cappi a pencil's width in diameter with a few nodes simply by burying a portion and waiting a few months. They clone very easy that way. Air layering also works extremely easy.

What did you bury it in? Im kinda having to pull a poor mans version of this and in a bit of a hurry.

Lol, I'm an expert at the poor man gardening. For B. cappi sticks I try to bury one node if not more under the soil. I prefer to use a light airy soil so if you buy miracle grow soil for instance mix in a good portion of perlite to facilitate drainage. I find they root fine so long as the soil is kept moist, but not water logged. You don't want any soil that isn't going to let the roots breathe. Don't give up. I've seen some cuttings take two months before one of the nodes above the ground starts to grow, but the real magic happens when a node beneath the ground or in your pot grows. You will get much faster stronger growth from those nodes beneath the soil in my experience with B. cappi.

Now that got a chuckle and while variable... it would definitely apply to any penis/B. cappi. Even if we are talking on the small side your going to be golden. No pun intended on that last one. Do you find your B. cappi root faster in water than in soil?

rooting in water i'd say usually takes about 3 weeks to a month,
and i don't use humidity dome, just shady, humid place outside.
