Nematodes are usually not spread through cuttings rooted in water, they are only spread through infected soil (dirty shoes, garden tools, gloves, pots, etc). If the nematodes are attacking the stem of the plant, take cuttings from above the infected area to ensure you don't take nematode eggs, and plant the rooted cutting in a pot to avoid spreading nematodes to in-ground garden areas to be safe. Compost tea made with mustard leaves or other brassica leaves (such as cabbage, kale, collards, or radish) may be able to kill or reduce nematode populations. Use this method if you wish to save the original, infected plant.
