To anyone wanting an update, the proto-roots have began to grow back! But I also have a question. When can I transfer pothos props to soil?

A lot of places online recommend waiting until the roots are about 2-3 inches long, so if you’re wanting to play it safe wait until then. Personally, I’ve found that my pothos are fine to go in the soil with less (~1 inch long roots).

Overall, most pothos are pretty hardy and forgiving, so I wouldn’t worry too much!

Ok great! And can I put multiple cuttings in one pot, or cuttings in a pot with a pothos already in it?

### P.G commented on 2024-08-10

Oh for sure! That’s how I’ve done most of my cuttings. That way you can get a more bushy and leafy look

Thank you so much!

No worries, best of luck with your plants!
