Do I cut the black tips off or no? I’ve read online to cut them off and then soak in diluted hydrogen peroxide solution for 10 minutes. But then I’ve also read it is normal. It is golden pothos cuttings.

Are the black tips mushy?

As long as the roots are hard they’re healthy, the mushy ones are root rot and need to be cut
