# This is my first time trying to propagate my pothos and the cuttings…

_Posted by RYergie on 2025-06-26_

This is my first time trying to propagate my pothos and the cuttings are doing great in water. All have long roots and are putting out new leaf growth but my question is, at what point can i plant them?

i usually do it when roots are abt 5cm!

Generally, I plant them when the roots are about 2-3 inches in length. Because you propagated them in water, you’ll want to maintain that moist environment for the soil after potting them. Good luck!

I’ve recently picked up the mini greenhouse from Ikea (Akerbar?). There’s loads of videos of people on tik tok kitting them out for propagations. I’ve heard it’s good for keeping them in a moist, controlled environment. Cheap too! x

Question for you! I just starting propagating! Are you supposed to change the water every couple days or do you leave it in there until you see roots grow?

I changed my water because it got gross. I have heard you can leave it but i usually change the water because it provides oxygen and once i have roots i put a tiny bit of liquid fertilizer in it to keep them growing
