Hey! This only happens to some of my cuttings but the tips of the roots turn brown and stop growing. I am using filtered water, and try change the water frequently. Sorry for the blurry photos. Does anybody know why this is happening?

Don’t change the water too frequently or you’ll be throwing out the rooting hormone they release. Most of my props will turn tips brown when I change water then they’ll start growing again pushing through the brown tip – it’s normal. Also the roots in your pictures look fine!
It’s the growing tip of the root
You’re not supposed to change the water at all, just top it up. The plants release their own rooting hormones into the water, every time you change it you slow down the process by getting rid of them. It also puts the cutting into a sort of shock.
The roots looks normal though.
