Are the roots on this pothos cutting viable? They are firm/not squishy, but the brownish color is concerning me. This is after rinsing and rubbing the soil off

If I’m correct that’s just the more older/mature part of the root. Multiple of my lithos plants had that while living in water and then I planted them and they were just done. If you plant it in soil just make sure to keep the soil pretty moist for a week or more

Pothos can also live for a long time in water, so there’s no need to rush it if you’re unsure.

If they’re firm then they should be good. Some plants naturally have darker roots so while dark roots are an indication of root rot, the firmness of the root is a much more accurate way to tell if there is root rot

color also has to do with how much light the roots are receiving. they look great to me for a pothos

They look healthy, I would wait until they have secondary roots before transferring to soil
