Can you propagate pothos in soil? I’m thinking of taking some of the vines and just staking them back in the main pot. Will they take? Or should I prop in water and then plant them back in

I’ve had some luck but it is MUCH easier to prop in water.

It's easier to stick it in water and then in soil once rooted

### Alexis commented on 2023-06-08

Water prop first ☺️

Water is always easier

If you want to try to go straight to soil, buy some rooting powder, it should help them establish some roots. Otherwise try just water or putting into perlite to establish some roots first.
