Any tips or tricks about transferring these babies to soil? I think some need more time but some others seem ready to go. It’s my first propagation attempt and I’m a nervous plant mama! 😬

I do it two ways. The first involves potting them up into a small pot (which means I have two now). The second (which is newer to me) is to pot the cuttings back into the pot. I’ll water the pot where I “added the cutting back” every three days or so for a couple of weeks to let it acclimate to soil…

I think I’ll try both ways since I have several cuttings. Thank you, I wouldn’t have thought to give the extra water just around the new added back ones.

You can also leave the pothos in the jar for a while if you didn’t want to replant them, just switch the water every week and trim the roots if they get too long

I do like the look of how some of them look just in the water. Thank you!

i use perlite / semi hydroponic mediums like leda or vermiculite to acclimate them maybe for a few weeks and then i transfer to soil
