Will this pearl \& jade pothos root? A lovely coworker clipped this, put it in water for a week or two and just gave it to me. I really want it to flourish! Advice wanted!

Off topic, but you have the same propagation stand as me! I’m using mine for my Pothos props too!

It was a gift and I'm so happy to finally use it!

Pothos is the one plant I’ve ever had consistently reliable success with propagating by rooting in water and transplanting to soil. Good luck, hope it’s the same for you!

### Amy commented on 2026-04-14

Yes it will grow roots from the nodes. I’ve made lots of cuttings from my pearl \& jade pothos that way. Keep the water clean and fresh

#### Danae replied on 2026-04-14

Thank you - do you think it was cut in the right place? I always get confused about that

#### Madison replied on 2026-04-14

looks good to me! it looks like it was cut in between the nodes and you have a couple of nodes left, which is what I always aim for.

### Madison commented on 2026-04-14

It should root very easily! Just be sure to change out the water once a week. Once it has roots that are 2 inches long and has off-shoot roots, it’s ready to be potted into a chunky soil mix- or you can grow it indefinitely in water alone if you add a hydroponic fertilizer.
