# I had a beautiful, long golden girl and I decided to make some babies…

I had a beautiful, long golden girl and I decided to make some babies from her. I cut about 7 pieces off and they are currently in water. They seem to be doing well and in about a week, I will be putting them in soil.

I would wait until they’ve grown roots at least 2-4” long and preferably some secondary roots as well before transferring to soil. But thats just me :)

Thank you! It’s my first time doing this so I actually appreciate any feedback. I will take any advice you’ve got! ☺️☺️☺️

You’ve picked an excellent plant to start with! Super easy to propagate. Just make sure to change the water every 10ish days, or when it looks grimy. Some people will say don’t change the water with a pothos as they produce their own rooting hormone, which is not wrong. But I have a lot more success when I keep the water clean and fresh.

Good luck!
