I’ve never propagated a plant before, but I accidentally decapitated my pearl \& jade pothos! 😭 Do these cuts and glass of water look good? Please help with advice or tips, thanks you! 🙏🪴

That's fine. Those are really easy to propagate. You can even grow them in water. They're happy little plants. Very tolerant.

### Roro commented on 2025-10-10

Yep! You should just put it in water for 3weeks until the root is at least 2 in a o pot

### Lynda commented on 2025-10-10

Yes, as stated earlier, they are extremely easy to propagate! But I always let my props get roots on roots before I even think to transfer it to soil. Best of luck!

Change the water when it gets cloudy. Fertilize with diluted liquid fertilizer when the roots start to emerge. I also add SuperThrive Plant Vitamins with the fertilizer.🪴🍀
