I’ve never had any issue transferring water propped pothos to soil — they’re pretty forgiving. But I have seen a method where you half fill a nursery pot with soil and then put it in a cover pot of water to help transition — so it’s like muddy water for a bit before full soil?? I don’t understand the mechanics of this…but someone who knows more than me on the subject might be able to weigh in…

I agree a pot inside a pot and and keep it moist for a few weeks to get use to the soil. But pothos are very easy and u can neglect them and they will still live. I been growing my own pothos now for awhile and i always have cuttings so if u are in my area i can give u a fresh plant i made or some cuttings! That’s my mama plant and i also have a lot of babies! But i do agree about pot in pot. I still do that with a lot of my plants but i never keep access water.

Aw thanks Crystal that makes sense especially with how prolific pothos is when it’s happy, thank you for offering plants or cuttings, I LOVE pothos, I’m in NC though not sure about you
