I’ve been trying to water propagate my pothos for maybe two or so months now and I have been waiting for secondary and/or tertiary roots to show up, but they haven’t shown up yet and I think my cutting roots are starting to develop some rot. At least, some of them are starting to go all dark and brown and squishy. What should I do? ## 9개의 댓글 ### Nirvana님이 2026-10-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. How often do you change the water? #### Crow님이 2026-10-14에 답변했습니다. Typically I try to do it at least once a week or so (but I do sometimes occasionally forget and do it later), would changing it more often help? #### Nirvana님이 2026-10-15에 답변했습니다. Weekly is good enough. ### Perla님이 2026-10-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. Hi I throw a tiny peace of egg shell and it works for me, on the rotting part I’d chop off and try again ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/rn3ZdcaZ6KuccB8VbvpqK83jQvmW2kuqFV56KF_zK9Q/QXD83PDaSgaR4aP00DWBcg.webp?size=large) ### Phil님이 2026-10-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. Can you show us a pic of your prop. #### Crow님이 2026-10-15에 답변했습니다. Totally forgot about that, sorry. Here are some looks at the roots, you can see the dark tips. I’m supposed to be changing the water today, if you notice the water is a bit dirty. Any ideas on what to do that might help my cuttings survive would be much appreciated. ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pLl0NRgH0x84vbTeQubWI-gN2QVEIWdbqOGreQT79oI/syUypPEQRJyQB571BGEcPw.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/pLl0NRgH0x84vbTeQubWI-gN2QVEIWdbqOGreQT79oI/C8NmXOFjRp-OWfV6K3FPdQ.webp?size=large) ### SuccySuccy님이 2026-10-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. Peroxide drops. Also make sure you have nodes or it’s pointless. ### zollol님이 2026-10-15에 댓글을 남겼어요. I dont change my water at all. I used to, but the pothos i put in changed water would die. Now, I use the same water for multiple pothos cuttings and never change it for months. It works because of hormones or something, ill even jar it to use for the next time i wanna propagate. I believe it works, putting a new cutting in used water always has it root so much faster for me. Make sure its in a warm place. I have it in my kitchen. If its rotting you need to clean off the bacteria with a paper towel, maybe cut some off, and let it dry. If its rotted into the node, its dead and gone, it will never grow. ### Belle님이 2026-10-17에 댓글을 남겼어요. I swear be these drops!! They are absolutely amazing save no I’m just getting paid by anyone?? A two ounce bottle lasted just shy of a year!! It is good to use when repotting also it reduces the amount of shock ⚡️ ![4개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/K-d70M9b_XPCT9hPMjrrjAHzBFH7eifnAXd0q-_Fdu4/BNF2Px5YS8KJNeE-qLPHhg.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/K-d70M9b_XPCT9hPMjrrjAHzBFH7eifnAXd0q-_Fdu4/QYV5ZBi2SIiKL4_IcW5qWQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/K-d70M9b_XPCT9hPMjrrjAHzBFH7eifnAXd0q-_Fdu4/26LjddlXRsOumVwPWTToTQ.webp?size=large) ![4개 중 4번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/K-d70M9b_XPCT9hPMjrrjAHzBFH7eifnAXd0q-_Fdu4/HxvZCKm_S7CDXXC4PMJGUQ.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
