I’ve recently invested in some sphagnum moss, lava rock and root powder! It worked wonders for rooting my golden pathos. If you’re strictly wanting to just use water, I would just make sure it gets the proper lighting and you monitor your water quality! Hope all goes well!

just stick it in water and wait. sometimes it takes a month or so for roots to start growing.

It will happen. Easiest plant in the world to propagate, just wait until the roots have grown 2-4 inches and pot her. Be patient.

If you want more foliage you should downsize the container so it will put more energy into growing leaves and once you think it’s ready get a bigger container. Pothos can take medium light but they do best in south or east windows we have like 5 propagation stations and it is so easy to propagate pothos.
