# Hello lovelies! I’m just dividing up a pothos and wondering if…

_Posted by shalynbri on 2024-03-11_

Hello lovelies!

I’m just dividing up a pothos and wondering if there’s value in using the soil and broken roots that come from that pot, or if I should use fresh soil? Never done this before and don’t wanna dump soil if it’s valuable and going to help cuttings grow - however if it is drained of nutrients it’d be better for fresh. I’m kinda clueless on this one.

Thanks for any tips!!
