# I ordered a bunch of pothos cuttings off Etsy back in February to…

I ordered a bunch of pothos cuttings off Etsy back in February to propagate. All but one of them have had new spouting and leaves. I also propped a couple cuttings from a nature plant we already had that needed to be pruned in April, and even one of them has already gotten new leaves.

My lone prop is still alive. Leaves look healthy, still green. However there’s been absolutely zero signs of growth in it. My cat chomped this little guy early on (as well as a couple others) but the others quickly put out new leaves to compensate for the ones they lost. Again, plant seems totally healthy just zero new growth. Can it really take that long? Should I just keep waiting? He’s getting plenty of light and I’ve increased watering in all my plants recently since it gotten warmer and they’re drying out more. I used rooting hormone when propagating too.

I would maybe consider moving it to leca or pon or stratam. I use leca but I’ve heard these types of hydro mediums can help stimulate the plant to push out roots. I’ve had good results!

He’s been in soil for a while, I haven’t dug around yet to see what rooting looks like. Might be worth a peak though

i would say just keep waiting if it’s getting proper light and watering. it’s probably still working on roots. what size pot are your propagations in?

#### thelovelyliz replied on 2024-05-26

These are 4 inch iirc. I figured might still just be rooting so we’ll see!
