So happy about my prop! The stem/leaf in the back that the arrow is pointed to is a freshly opened leaf from a brand new shoot. And the little red circle is highlighting a second new shoot coming from the soil that i just noticed today. It's so exciting for a rooted cutting to start branching out like this! I only put him in soil a few weeks ago 🥹

Did you propagate these in water first?

#### Celesta replied on 2026-07-08

Yes!

I can’t ever get my pothos to grow in soil once they have rooted in water 😫😫

#### Celesta replied on 2026-07-08

Oh no! I must have just gotten lucky then. This was my first time. May I ask what happens to yours? Does it die or does it just not ever grow more??

#### Mom replied on 2026-08-17

A few have literally just stayed the way I put them in the soil and some have died
