I got this golden Pothos cutting today. I see a lot of nodes. Should I put the stem in water to the red mark area so all those nodes can turn into roots?

Yes you could. Me, I’m a junkie for new growth and would split it in half and try and grow two halves of the stem.

Where would you cut for 2?

Arrows are growth points. You could do one in water and lay the other on top of wet perlite and it would grow as well 😊

aerial roots grow in air lawl you'd have water roots, but yes, up to that point looks good
