Anyone know why the new leaf on my Golden Pothos is black on the bottom? I’m relatively new to plants and was curious to see if this is normal?

That’s usually a problem with the soil.  
Have you changed the soil yet?

I had them rooting in water and just put them in fresh soil about a week ago

theyre probably not adjusted to the soil yet because they’ve been living in water so far, id definitely do some research on care for plants moving from water to soil! they require a different watering schedule for a while
