I’ve had a cutting of my satin pothos sitting in water for a while but it’s not rooting; I’m very surprised. What can I do?

Brighter light, add fertilizer

Rooting hormone will help expidite.

I find satin pothos are easier to root in sphagnum

I second rooting hormone and as a dummy check, does your cutting have a node?

Yes it does! It has 2!
