# Hi! Looking for advice on next steps for these cuttings I received…

_Posted by ak on 2026-02-01_

Hi! Looking for advice on next steps for these cuttings I received from a relative. I have four varieties of African violet, all showing roots now. The pothos at the top are also showing roots.

First timer here so any advice welcome, but I am specifically wondering about when to plant and what type of soil to use. Also should I pot each propagation separately?

I don't know much about African violet provocation so I will just move on to the pothos. If roots are 2 to 3 inches long you can transplant them into any good houseplant soil. No you don't have to put each one in a separate container. They will probably look nicer if you put at least three in a pot. Don't choose a very large pot maybe three and a 4-inch pot would be good.

That should be three in a 4-in pot.

Agree with KJM for both! They all look so great well done!! Absolutely love your hanging propagation station! 😍

Thank you so much! The propagation station was an Amazon find!

African violets like bottom-watering style pots. Potting soil is fine, but you can get an african violet mix if you want to get fancy. If you want to plant them separately, use 2 inch pots (like little plastic seed starters). If you prefer to plant them together, a 4-5 inch pot should do for all of them
