# Can a plant grow from just a root? I didn’t think a plant could grow…

Can a plant grow from just a root? I didn’t think a plant could grow without a node, but Google says there might be an exception. Has anyone had any experience or success with growing from just a root?  
My poor little cutting did not do well, and I might have to put it in my graveyard 😔 so I’m asking for any last bit of help if there is a possibility of saving poor Billy

oof i have no idea. usually pothos need nodes(at least in my experience). like those leaves look pretty dead. try ur best but maybe go get another clipping

Not usually. That one definitely not. Occasionally I've seen a perennial that looks just like a clump of roots and it will start growing but chances are there was and eye in there somewhere.

Only time I had a pothos grow from only roots was when it was an entire established root system that still had maybe 1 cm of stem above ground (my cat obliterated the rest of the plant)

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice. Billy is now in the graveyard, RIP
