My pothos propagations keep dying and rotting. What am I doing wrong? Please help! I change out the water weekly. I use filtered water. It has decent light but also isn’t in direct sunlight. Should I try a rooting hormone? Any and all tips are appreciated! Thank you!
I recently heard someone who recommended NOT changing the water. I’m not sure I’m sold, but then I kinda end up doing it anyways when I forget about long-term props 😅 I guess the theory is that the plant releases it’s own hormones into the water, and it has to start over if you dump the water. I would definitely still do a water change if it’s cloudy or smells funky. Algae is fine though in my opinion

I always make sure I let my cuttings fully callus over before adding them into the water. Often times if water gets into the stem it stars a slow rot that turns cuttings to mush. Give that a try with some fresh clippings ☺️

Don’t bother buying the rooting hormone. Use cinnamon just dip the end in it. Because cinnamon has natural rooting hormones in it and less fillers

0 Me gustaDo your cuttings have more than one node? I’ve had the same problem with single node cuttings.
