    I may be wrong but that just looks like scabbing on the cutting (which is a good thing!) I could be totally wrong but that’s what it looks like to me.

    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!

      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😂

    nope this happens to my pothos too. as long as it’s not mushy, you’re good to go!

      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?

      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.

    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

      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!

    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

      My intent is to leave it in water. In hopes it’ll grow more vines
