I could be totally wrong but that’s what it looks like to me. #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25に返信しました I can take a better picture later, those where the only ones I had in my phone currently lol #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25に返信しました A better look ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jwu4f-C3ULNX9X_R3PpDiGS7LMQOHZSNc6gvYc5uzeA/vpV6_dY7ROCQEVZKt8_9PA.webp?size=large) #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jwu4f-C3ULNX9X_R3PpDiGS7LMQOHZSNc6gvYc5uzeA/Wy299qlPTu2-5cLSLYElzw.webp?size=large) ### Saarah Aamilahさんが2024-04-25にコメントしました If your plant didn’t fully callous after it was cut from the plant before putting it into the water, this may just be a bit of rot! Which isn’t a concern since the roots are happy, shouldn’t affect the plant at all. You could cut it, but it’ll do that again if it’s not left to callous for a couple hours! #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25に返信しました How do I let it callous? This was given as a gift. So I no nothing lol all of you are my information givers haha #### Saarah Aamilahさんが2024-04-25に返信しました To let it callous just need to leave it sitting somewhere outside of the water for a couple hours after cutting! I don’t know the exact amount of time necessary, but you’ll be able to tell it’s calloused by the cut portion almost looking scabbed. I wish I could describe it better. But it’ll look different then when you first cut it😂 #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25に返信しました Gotcha. You explained it perfectly 😂 this little thing has me on here asking new questions every day basically 🤣🤣 thank you!! #### Saarah Aamilahさんが2024-04-25に返信しました It’s good to have questions, that’s how we learn! Good luck!! #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/jwu4f-C3ULNX9X_R3PpDiGS7LMQOHZSNc6gvYc5uzeA/gj_R00nAQ5mQ1IOkBbosqA.webp?size=large) ### Sydneiさんが2024-04-25にコメントしました nope this happens to my pothos too. as long as it’s not mushy, you’re good to go! #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25に返信しました To me it doesn’t feel mushy. someone on Reddit told me to use a little hydrogen peroxide have you heard of or tried that? #### Sydneiさんが2024-04-25に返信しました yes. that’s only for root rot. you don’t need to. if it ever gets mushy, or another prop, cut it to where it isn’t, let it soak for a couple mins in 3:1 peroxide and water. then let it callus. #### Sydneiさんが2024-04-25に返信しました this is one of my pothos props. it has that darkness but it’s flourishing in water. i’ll put in soil one day. just haven’t prioritized lol. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/zUqtoecsp1SASAgYe60EZiOjpQYVLCqKArRa9Tv5UD8/Qye7i8JwTASjGlS9vUlaPg.webp?size=large) #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25に返信しました That looks good!!! #### Sydneiさんが2024-04-25に返信しました thanks! ### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-25にコメントしました I planned on keeping in water but now I’m wondering if I should switch to soil. I just water any a happy healthy plant lol #### Sydneiさんが2024-04-25に返信しました it’s totally preference. my aunt has one in water that’s been trailing. i just know soil provides nutrients so if we keep in water, we’ll need to find the best fertilizer. happy growing! ### allieさんが2024-04-26にコメントしました I think the extra bit of stem below where the roots are growing from will just rot in the water. I’d cut off whatever is below the roots. I’d also leave it in water a bit longer to get some secondary roots before moving to soil #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-26に返信しました My intent is to leave it in water. In hopes it’ll grow more vines #### Brotanical Bryさんが2024-04-26に返信しました I do feed it fertilizer --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
