If Iā€™m water propagating a pothos and one of the leaves is turning yellow does that mean itā€™s too close to a window? I have east facing windows. Or is that a sign the propagation isnā€™t working?

    It can be bc your cutting has too many leaves and the plant will pull its energy from that leaf and use it for rooting. Or it could be bc of rot if your cutting has that. Or not enough oxygen if itā€™s in water and youā€™re not changing it weekly. Or too dense of soil if itā€™s soil so itā€™s overwatered. Or it could be just random. So youā€™ll want to troubleshoot those factors. And if thereā€™s nothing above applicable you need to fix and If you have a node just let the leaf yellow and fall off naturally so it can use the energy it gets from that leaf until itā€™s gone and it can still root without it. Highly doubt itā€™s too much light for a cutting unless itā€™s got too much direct light from like a south facing window and itā€™s getting brown burn marks.

      Thank you! So backstory, I was saving the plant from root rot so I took a few cuttings with nodes and aerial roots and plopped them in a glass of lukewarm water this past Thursday. So the water is only about a few days old. Here is a picture of the setup here and the leaf

      Do you think I shouldā€™ve dipped the cuttings into hydrogen peroxide first? They didnā€™t look rotted inside when I cut them at first but idk

      I think they look fine. I would squeeze the ends to make they arenā€™t squishy. Chop until theyā€™re not squishy and you could also put a dash of hydrogen peroxide in the water too but i often forget and they still make it after chopping the rot off usually lol. It might just be coming off if thereā€™s more than one leaf per cutting.
