_Posted by Mrs Williams on 2026-08-07_

I was gifted this pothos and she was grown mostly in water. I eventually transferred her to soil and she’s been doing fantastic!

I would like to separate this top portion and also plant it into the soil to give the little pot she’s in a bit more volume. I’d like some guidance on how best to do that

Do I chop and put it in water? Should I wait for some more growth and just wrap her around the pot?

I would chop and put in water. Pothos have been very easy to propagate for me. Once you have roots 2-3 inches long you can stick it right back in the pot.
