How should I propagate this?

Okay, weird, my marbled pothos is doing THE SAME THING and I have no idea what to do either!!!

Did you figure it out?

My Birkin White Wave is doing this too and I’m not sure what to do with it either 🤷🏻‍♀️  
Hopefully someone else can tell us 🤞🏼

Ideally, you’ll take stem cutting that includes at least one node and some aerial roots to maximize your chances of new growth. I just propped one today!
