I’d say just keep taking care of it and wait for roots to actually form  
With plants it’s not necessarily an amount of time set but rather as much time as they need to grow

thank you, would it not work though if i planted them? i just want to put some other cuttings in water i have to replace the devils ivy

I mean it could but i find propogation works better in water to me  
But also ive put plants with really tiny roots in soil just treat it like a seed and keep it moist until the roots grow

I just got some Clonex and used it on all my current props, including a golden pothos. It’s a gel form of rooting hormone. It claims to help roots form bigger and faster. Something to try if you want to accelerate the prop-cess.
