# Hey guys, so I recently got a cutting of a Pothos and have been…

Hey guys, so I recently got a cutting of a Pothos and have been having trouble getting it to grow after potting it. I propagated for about one-two weeks until the roots were longer than an inch to plant. After planting, the plant became more yellow, leaves started to curl. My app is telling me to water more, but the soil is soaked. Please help

That pot is too big - it’s holding too much water and rotting the cutting. Remove from soil, clean the roots and cut any rot, and put back in water until the roots grow roots. When you do repot you’ll need a much smaller pot, like a seedling container

Okay thank you so much for your help! I have never propagated before so was unaware of this. I will try this.

Good luck! We don’t know until we know! Happy to help 😊

I also usually let my plant grow secondary roots (roots coming out of the first roots grown) before moving to plant in soil, it helps the plant make the transition from only water to soil a little better.

Good to know-thank you!
