I'm wondering if it would start growing new leaves if i put it in water? All my other pothos(golden pothos) are growing super fast and doing well. Just wondering if propagating in water would help this lil guy grow more leaves :) ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/efCVrGPXU6KKpWnXX7IuD9YtvimPINLaurlNXueB4bI/XrJh-ZcnQHO11UjVx9Khgg.webp?size=large) ## 17 comments ### Jay commented on 2024-03-12 Hey! I might be wrong but im not 100% sure thats a n’joy, looks more like an albo type thing to me, ive never seen anything like it before, heres a pic of some albo pothos’ ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/o2n1Ytsy2gSK_TnslLFw17RHdJjnGoiAUtcyA2vheWI/z31MrdqlTvqtptfw_jwsFQ.webp?size=large) #### Jay replied on 2024-03-12 N joy tend to have smaller compact leaves and blocky variegation on the edges, and pearls n’ jade (also similar) are also pretty compact ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/o2n1Ytsy2gSK_TnslLFw17RHdJjnGoiAUtcyA2vheWI/ypNBr0aHTMKiLm-mcbGy7g.webp?size=large) #### Jay replied on 2024-03-12 Also, sorry i got distracted by figuring out what it could be, its so gorgeous!! I think if it has a node, then water usually works a lot easier for plants to propogate (in my experience) #### Fran replied on 2024-03-12 Yes it’s an N’Joy #### Jay replied on 2024-03-12 I have never seen one with that long of a leaf? Aswell, minty type variegation ive never seen on an n joy in full chunks like that ### Magatoria commented on 2024-03-12 I’m with jay on this, that’s not a pothos. There is a node on the plant. I’d recommend with placing the steam in water or putting the dirt a little higher up so the nodes is covered ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iQ5zIzl_4MbZ2uk0ZNiZJGAwovv7MqVeRKf-ll39DjY/_Exx9FBJQai6Y4VbRzXM3w.webp?size=large) #### Fran replied on 2024-03-12 It is a pothos. I own one. Just with the one leaf makes it look different. But it’s an N’Joy. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/4IO6VdjSZxSxOAgnQuR1BVNM4RsFuSg1JWMU2Vr9Ptk/Tr2Lo2IJQjm-WKveFtjlRA.webp?size=large) ### Mads commented on 2024-03-12 I had a cebu blue cutting for MONTHS that didn’t grow any new leaves until I put him under a grow light. Since then (December), he has a second full leaf, and is working on a third! So my suggestion is, leave her in soil, but add more light. #### Mads replied on 2024-03-12 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/F3A6oDxB5AFrwMY-8AmGdM9PkD4LkZ4epCTa5XS85C4/J2W_siUnTIWiz5k7H6ByTA.webp?size=large) ### Plant Father commented on 2024-03-12 i wouldn’t recommend switching media as it can stress the plant. give it more light and time as it’s likely working on roots right now, and eventually it will grow leaves #### Plant Father replied on 2024-03-12 also, i think this isn’t a pothos (epipremnum aureum) but rather epipremnum pinnatum or king pothos ### monica commented on 2024-03-13 thank you guys for all the help \& recommendations!! i actually just put it in water, and it does look like a new leaf is getting ready to grow. do i put it in soil again?! but if i keep it in water, do i make sure that bottom part is in the water or out ? ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/efCVrGPXU6KKpWnXX7IuD9YtvimPINLaurlNXueB4bI/5QjdfxgJQNSIem8vhrpUZg.webp?size=large) #### Fran replied on 2024-03-13 It looks like it has a nice root now! Yay. Now you can out it in soil. Make sure you have good draining soI like mix in some perlite and spectrum moss. Keep your soil moist but never wet. Put It it somewhere in a window where it gets plenty of sun light but not in the direct sun like setting outside. Good luck ❤️ keep us posted on your baby #### monica replied on 2024-03-15 thanks so much!!! i did mix potting mix with perlite and peat moss initially. i'll pot it again :) i have an indoor greenhouse i use but no grow lights. thankfully my apartment gets good morning sun 🌞 ### sarita commented on 2024-03-14 Looks like a philodendron? I have N’joy and doesn’t look like that. #### sarita replied on 2024-03-14 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YemI4K1MBAAkElBiimgc4WyNnMuc2od3fzgJyOqV0lk/gUGxKCHTTHmroUCfgtvUZA.webp?size=large) #### monica replied on 2024-03-15 okay noted thank you! --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
