Can anyone tell me what i’m doing wrong? I’m propagating pothos and the roots always seem to darken and rot, and i just bought a philo florida beauty cutting that was being propagated and the roots are in great shape. Help!

    I’ve had that issue, I just make sure to change the water weekly, and if I notice them browning I take them out, spray with peroxide, wash them clean and stick them back in the water.

      do you think i’m changing the water too much? i change out the water every 2 days or when i see the water looking soggy and dirty. but ill try spraying peroxide and maybe washing the glass, im willing to try anything at this point.

      I’m no plant expert.. but I wouldn’t think changing the water frequently would be too much.. I feel like clean water is better personally.. but who knows???

      It shouldn’t make a difference. If anything the plant is getting better oxygenated water (roots gotta breathe too)

    I truly don’t know the answer, but I change out the water in my props every other week…. maybe even once a month.. outside of that i just top it off with fresh water as needed

      when you wait that long, does the water get super low? or does your water get soggy and dirty? everytime i see that, that’s when i change my water. but it happens so fast so idk if i should just continue to wait then change out the water?

      yes the water gets low but i just top it off with more water as needed. when you change the water, do you rinse the roots off? you want to get the “goo” off the roots as much as possible to prevent rotting

    Try filtered water. I made the switch and it drastically improved my prop success
