Does anyone have pothos propagating tips? my cuttings keep dying instead of rooting. I have two going right now and both the stems are turning brown and mushy.

Post a picture. Pothos typically does well in water. Change the water once a week or more often. Ensure at least one or more leaf node is underwater. Roots grow at the node.

This has worked for me countless times: use bobby-pins (like for your hair) open the pins and push the props into semi moist dirt and literally leave it and it grows and looks normal and roots right away. Leave the pin in, you can take it out next time you repot or a few months down the road…but it’s never caused an issue to leave it either.

Make sure you’re getting cuttings with nodes on them, mine work best in water. Medium light, lots of humidity. ❤️
