Does anyone have any tips to get him bigger that 2 leaves? Rooted in water and just recently added to dirt about a month ago can’t seem to put out any new growth yet I fertilize it once a week and it’s like nope nun for you it’s a global green pothos and the only one I have
I’d say give it some time, especially if it’s recently potted to soil it’s probably working on rooting in right now

I don’t know specifics to global green but for my pothos I have them in a pretty chunky soil mix so they don’t stay too wet. Does your soil drain well or does it stay saturated for days?
1 like It drains decently I have to water about every week sometimes longer
0 likes The leaves don’t indicate any over-watering but that was the only thing I could think of. I agree with Bri then. They unfortunately just take time after propagating. I propagated my p&j back in October and put it in soil once it got roots. It didn’t start to put out new growth until February or March!

What they said, patience is your best bet.
3 likesYou are not alone! I propped a pothos and it put out 2 leaves. The original leaves for super big, yellowed and fell off. I repotted to not loose the newbies and they had been sitting idle for a month or more. I then downsized the pot to a beginner’s pot as I read that the roots like to be close; hoping that was the solution. But nope! They are still sitting and it has been yet another month! 🤦🏽♀️
Feel like I’ve been waiting forever lol

Just to expand on what Bri said, but if it was in water, it had water roots. Now that it is in soil, it is working on making soil roots so that is why it is looking like it is not doing much. I have started planting everything in clear pots so I can watch plant growth below the soil line.

I think of it like babies and kids. They start crawling, then stop trying to do anything new physically, but start learning new sounds/words. Then they stop learning new sounds/words and start trying to stand. Then they switch again. They grow in phases. Brain, body, brain, body. Sometimes plants look like they are doing nothing while they are growing up a storm. Roots, pups, activating new nodes, etc. as long as it looks healthy, it’s probably fine.😊
1 likePatience patience! They are now going to establish soil roots and it takes all their energy out. Once established they’ll slowly focus on leaves. It does take some time depending on some factors such as light, but as long as they’re green and happy; that’s all you should worry about right now :)
