Does anyone know what this cutting is? The app identifies it as a pencil cactus but I have a hard time believing that since it has nodes, and it’s thick and hard

looks like it could be a pothos cutting! they typically have evenly spaced nodes like yours. roots grow quickly from them so hopefully you’ll see some foliage soon :)

Exactly what I was thinking! Hard to tell without the leaves tho🤣

#### Rehana replied on 2023-08-30

That’s what I was thinking too! Thank you guys for your help!

You want to get the nodes in water so they sprout. Other wise it might die.  
I agree with above 👆🏽

#### Rehana replied on 2023-08-30

Got it. Adding more water right now, thanks!

Even the ones on the top of the stem. They all will grow out roots.

You could chop it between the nodes and keep them all in that small glass too

Looks like bc one form of a pothos cutting I have many of those at my home and they have many nodes! That would be my guess
