# Help! I planted these (3) pothos propagations about a month ago and…

_Posted by Lilla on 2025-04-14_

Help! I planted these (3) pothos propagations about a month ago and they seem to be slowly dying. One of them already completely died so I cut it off. I don’t know what to about the rest. I planted them when their roots were a good 3-4 inches long

I would add more light. A grow light running 12 hours a day helps new rooted cuttings thrive. Increasing the humidity helps. At least place a clear plastic bag over it or in a terrarium to increase humidity.

Fertilize from the time the roots appear and monthly when they are placed in the potting medium.

I also add rooting hormone powder and SuperThrive plant vitamins.

Thx sunny! I covered it in a plastic bag and added a lamp. It’s not a grow light though. I also added some growth concentrate I had

A regular desk light won’t be enough. Grow lights have the full spectrum of light plants need. Desk lamps only have the narrow spectrum of warm white light.

Interesting I’ll definitely consider getting one

You may be able to get away with a grow bulb in your regular lamp.
