I just started propagating this pothos a couple weeks ago. This is my first time! How does it look? Is the stem at the base like that supposed to look like that ? I’m confused why there aren’t roots growing.

Thanks, friends! 🪴💛

Lookin good. Shoot for like 2" roots than you can transplant to soil. And just make sure you water it a bit extra the first week

Will do! And I’m assuming the root is the thing growing out? I was confused for a while thinking it was a new leaf growing?

Here’s my Marble Queen prop. It’s been in water for a good few weeks and is ready for potting now.  
When the roots have roots is what you’re looking for.
