# Hello, I have this golden pothos cutting that I have been keeping in…

_Posted by plantlover420 on 2025-08-04_

Hello, I have this golden pothos cutting that I have been keeping in water for quite awhile because it seems to do just fine that way. It has grown a ton of roots, but as of recently began yellowing at the base of the stem. Any ideas on what to do?

Could indicate root rot. May need to cut the bad off and start over. It happens. How often are you changing the water?

I just changed the water not super long ago, but prior to that it had been awhile as I was away from my plants. I was considering just cutting it and starting over with propagating, would that be the best route

In my opinion, yes
