You can put it in soil

How long did it take for the roots to grow?? I heard it takes forever

#### BeaBotBoop replied on 2025-05-30

About 2 months, I propagated with two pothos cuttings to help speed it along

How do you propagate these?

#### BeaBotBoop replied on 2025-05-30

I put these in water with a few pothos cuttings to help speed up the growth

#### Ireland yates replied on 2025-05-30

Where do you cut at

#### BeaBotBoop replied on 2025-05-30

These were loose branches in the soil so I just pulled them gently but you can just cut at the base of the stem and if it’s a long stem remove a few of the older bottom leaves before putting in water.

i just cut mine and placed it in a jar of water

Yay! Pothos give off a natural rooting hormone so if you have some cuttings you can pair together.
