I just got this pothos a couple of weeks ago that I have been propagating since and was wondering when would be a good time to transfer to soil and what kind of soil? How to transfer pothos to soil?

Wait till the roots are at least 2-4” long, and if you can wait for secondary roots even better.

A chunky well draining mix will work for them.

I’m new to this soil thing, what would be a good soil? Orchid bark? Perlite?

What kind of propagation? Water prop?
