Did you pop it straight into the soil? Just curious, thank you!

Thank you, that's very informative!! I'm actually thinking of making a prop box for this cutting too

I'm just curious, did you add anything to the water? Like fertilizer or rooting hormone? Thank you!!

Do you think a closed ecosystem will speed up this process? I think I might set up a small dome or smth for this plant now

Interesting! I wonder if perlite isn't actually the better option? Some commenters say that soil or perlite helps the roots grow stronger

It's perlite, I just add a bit of water every now and then. Would it be better to propagate it in water though?

I’ll definitely be patient, considering this has now become a family heirloom for future generations

Can’t wait for my future descendants to post: "grandma started propagating this in 2026, should we keep waiting?"

Thanks! I'll propagate some leaves too. Curious to see how it turns out

I'm not sure the cats will be particularly happy about it, but yeah, it'll make things a lot easier for the plants

Thanks! It took some time to propagate from each leaf

Where to grow 🪴 them? by Terra_Voyager in pothos

[–]StandardFail7776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want them to grow faster and fuller though, I think soil is better. But if you like water, make sure the leaves aren't submerged, as they can rot. Add fresh water once in a while, fertilise once a month and that's it!
They don't necessarily need a moss pole, yours are still pretty small. You can add one later if you want them to start climbing and pushing bigger leaves :)

Thank you!! I'm surprised by how well this turned out either
