_Geplaatst door emma op 2024-11-18_

i have been trying to propagate my neon pothos and the part i have cut and stuck in water won’t grow roots and it’s been in there for about two weeks. does anyone have any ideas on how to get it to start growing roots?

How much light is it getting and how frequently do you change the water? I don’t have much experience with pothos but if it’s any consolation it took me two months to get roots out of English ivy or monstera deliciosa cuttings.

it gets a full 9 hours of sunlight and i change the water once a week

Don’t change the water as often, probably is shocking it, just top it off when it gets low. Also, two weeks is pretty short for a cutting to sprout roots, give it time, took mine three months to grow enough roots to pot up

okay thank you!!

Some plants grow slowly. I use Prop Drops or another type of rooting product to encourage root growth. And i use DI water in my water prop station. But even then I'll have some plants take up to a month or so to get long enough roots to plant.

Is there for sure a node on it?

#### emma antwoordde op 2024-11-18

i cut it just before the node

#### Abbi antwoordde op 2024-11-18

Perfect! Just wait and see then🙂

You want to put the node in the water. That's how the roots grow sweets.
