Accidentally broke this piece of my plant off so I stuck it in water and now I have a brand new plant!

How long did it take to sprout roots?

#### Zack replied on 2026-02-17

It was pretty quick I’d say the first sprout was maybe a week and a half. I stuck a pothos cutting in it too. I heard that releases hormones in other plants to begin sprouting. Worked!

I just propagated like 10 different cuttings from multiple of my Pothos plants last week in glass jars and was just curious how long it would take for them to sprout!

Yeah idk how long it usually takes. I thought it would be a longer process.
