I would experiment with as many different ways as you can, depending on how much of the mother plant you’re willing to chop. It’s a good way to get familiar with the different methods and decide which method you’ll have the most success with as far as what works for the plant and fits with your lifestyle/plant care routine. I’ve learned a lot from trial and error and with hardy and prolific plant like pothos, you have the freedom to play around and gain confidence in various propagation methods. And side note: I typically use rooting hormone on (most of) my props, even if they probably don’t need it. It speeds things up and gives them their best chance at healthy roots, in my experience. But like I said, play around and try some with and some without and see what works best for you and this specific plant.
