My pothos had root rot and these were the roots that were still standing but still need cleaning.  
I’m not sure what to do with them? Should I propagate and wait for roots? Or just plant them in a smaller pot and wait? Help meee

Since most are just nodes, I'd put them on top of moist soil or perlite, pressed in a bit.

That’s what I was thinking but wasn’t sure. Thank you!
