    Yea the aerial roots are starting to protrude and become “water roots”. Just give it time!

      I had em in tap water for a week and just changed it to distilled to be safe. I butchered my mother pothos so fingers crossed I get a lot out of her!

      That’ll be fine for the time-being until you pot them, but they won’t be able to live in distilled water for the long-term because it lacks minerals and nutrients

    It looks great! I’d recommend changing the water every 5 to 7 days to support healthy growth and help reduce any odor or gnats. Roots should start growing around the 2nd or 3rd week
