Having some troubles proping my pothos in water usually add superthrive to get roots to sprout more and advise on how to help the process. I change water every thursday just not getting much growth

I will move cuttings to sphagnum when water doesn’t do it

Yea I tried some #3 perlite and didnt like the results might try some spag next thanks

I hadn’t had this problem until my last group of cuttings, but I did a few things differently with my latest group. I let them callous before I put them in water and dipping them rooting powder. They seem to be doing much better with this :)

Been meaning to buy some rooting powder

It’s only like $8 dollars so it has definitely been worth it for me, my success rate used to be like 60% but now it’s closer to 90%

Not sure if you already are, but use distilled water instead of sink or filtered water!

#### Jordan M replied on 2023-06-09

When I change next week I will try distilled
