I’m thinking of propagating my pothos since it’s grown so long that it’s touching my floor and the leaves are getting smaller and smaller. Any tips on how to do it without harming the original plant and keeping the babies alive? :)

I just propagated and I chose to first propagate them in water and then move them over to soil. Had no issues and all the new plants have leaves growing off of them! People recommend keeping 2-3 nodes per cutting (that’s where your new roots will grow from) but I did only one node cuttings and I found it did not make a difference. My parent plant is slowly shooting out new leaves

You can disinfect with rubbing alcohol when moving to a different plant. Wherever you prune the mother plant, she’ll start putting out new vines from right above there. So if you only prune very far down, she’ll have new branches growing from very far down which may look funny. You can always test it on only one or two of the vines until you become more confident
