Propagating my pothos! Any advice? I’ve never propagated before so anything would be great!

Literally ignore them. Top off the water every now and then. Wait til the roots have secondary roots coming off of them before trying to repot

I may just be missing them, but are there nodes on those cuttings? It kinda looks like you cut just above the nodes.

I think it’s a little hard to tell because they’re all mixed together and sitting in one cup and crossing over each other at the moment, but yes I checked before cutting that there were nodes or spots were aerial roots had started growing a little in each cutting

I like to wait for tertiary roots before I put any plants in pots. I don't think it's necessary for pothos- they're pretty easy and forgiving- but I do it anyway. Watching the roots develop is really fascinating for me 🤷🏼‍♀️
