    The cut ends can soften in water. Try letting the cut end dry a bit before adding to water. Avoid cutting too close to the nodes to prevent rot from reaching the root nodes.

    Cut the rotting piece off and let it dry or callous over before putting it in water. You can also use hot glue on it to seal it, that’s how I propagate my Pothos and it works every time.

    Mine do this sometimes. I just cut further from the node just in case so I can trim the rot. A good habit for safety lol
