I’m doing my first perlite propagation with some of the bald pieces of my pothos/monstera that I pruned. If anyone has done this before and has any tips, that would be great!

I tried that once. It was my last because of the mess dealing with the perlite. I usually do plain water with a nutrient solution. Didn’t see a difference. Others may have different experiences.

I’m doing it in soil just keep it moist and they take off
