Pothos Propagating Question: Is this a good place to snip my Pothos to propagate (where my left thumb is)? And can I leave all 3 leaves on this cutting to water prop?

Yes and yes!! But don't let the water cover the bottom leaf.

Actually i would cut half way from your thumb and that 1st leaf. I mean you can cut right where i 1st said but I'm thinking its to long of a stem. It could rot. (Sorry i just wrote before i thought)🙈🙈
