I am attempting to grow these little sprouts that snapped off my porthos, I just have them in water and I put a teeny bit of fertiliser in there too. They are currently in the window that gets all the morning sunlight. Am I doing this right?
Yup! Except you don’t need to add any fert until its grown a root system. Without roots it won’t use any of it. I usually wait till secondary roots are forming to start adding fert to the water. Also, only the one with the node will grow roots (hard to tell if that’s one or two in there).

4 likesWell pothos are a great one to start with! I usually change my water out every 10 days or when its getting a little gross. Pothos produce their own type of rooting hormone, so as long as the water is clean you don’t need to change it.

Looks like a Scindapsus, not a pothos. Water propagation process is the same.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the one leaf on the left doesn’t look like it has a node. If not it won’t root but the one of the right looks perfect!
