# Hi everyone! I’m new to plants so i can’t tell you the details about…

Hi everyone!

I’m new to plants so i can’t tell you the details about what soil or fertilizer i use.. but! i propagated these bad boys in water for a fews months and they’ve been planted for about two-ish months, but i haven’t seen any growth in the water or now in the soil (maybe minimal growth the shorter one). i’m worried the lot might be too big for the two shoots or that they have shock.. any tips?

Pot is too big. But in any case, some of my pothos take a while to transition from water to soil. I have one that I transferred over 2 months ago. No new growth but the two leaves are healthy and the plant is strong.

thanks for the feedback!! it does still seem healthy so i’ll try a smaller pot and just give it time :)

In my experience they can take quite a while to establish their roots once transferred, making it seem like nothing is happening.
