What’s a good soil for a pothos? I took a cutting from my father-in-law and rooted it for the longest in water. It was long enough to put in soil then I had to remove it and put it back in water because the soil was staying too moist and I didn’t want to destroy the roots. I don’t know what to do now since I don’t know what soil works best.
i recently propagated my cousins pothos during the summer and i used regular potting mix and it’s doing great so far, but you could also try a tropical potting mix, i’ve heard they do just as good 😌 also you might have been watering it to much make sure to let the soil dry out a bit before you water it again!

Hi! I have made a well draining soil mix for my pothos and it’s been doing SO well. The mix is: half tropical plant soil then the other half is split between three other substrates (pebbles, perlite, and orchid bark) :)

I would say any all purpose indoor plant soil. Ive used both miracle gro & fox farm which I then add perlite & orchid bark (for air flow) along with a couple other things. I also recently purchased a chunky mix from Sol soils & I love it as well, it works great for all aroids!

I had drainage issues with all purpose mix. Both of mine almost died. I switched to a mix of orchid and tropical/cactus mix that has lava rock in it. I no longer have that issue, and mine have been thriving!
