Hey! propagating a Golden Pothos is a fun and rewarding experience. Here are some tips to help you:
1. Ensure the water is kept fresh by changing it every 5 to 7 days to prevent stagnation and bacteria growth. You can also add a tiny drop of liquid fertilizer after roots start forming to give them a nutrient boost.
2. Place the cuttings in indirect light, like you have, to encourage healthy root growth. direct sunlight can be too harsh, especially for the delicate new roots.
3. Be patient with the rooting process. Pothos typically show root growth within 2-3 weeks, depending on the environment. Make sure the nodes (the little bumps where leaves and roots grow from) are submerged in water, as that's where new roots will sprout from.
4. Once the roots are at least a couple of inches long, you can transplant them into soil.
In general, when propagating plants, start by cutting a healthy section of the plant, usually right below a node. Make sure the cutting is a few inches long with a couple of leaves. Place the cutting in water or directly in soil depending on the plant type. If propagating in water, change the water every few days to prevent bacteria buildup. Ensure the container is placed in indirect sunlight. roots should start developing within one to four weeks. Once the roots are long enough, typically a couple of inches, transfer the cutting to a pot with well-draining soil. For soil propagation, use a rooting hormone to increase the chances of success and keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Be patient as propagation can take several weeks depending on the plant and environmental conditions.
I recommend the book โThe Propagation Handbookโ by Hilton Carter :)

Oh my I love the names.. my kids used to watch that crazy show. Why I let them, ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ ED EDD AND EDDIE, there is no way it that show taught them a thing! ๐ณ @Aconitesgarden ! ๐คฃ๐คฃ
@Aconitesgarden just a couple drops. Or if you feel all three containers with the same water at a tablespoon to that water and then split between the three. Mess around with it. To see how much you like to use but I wouldnโt do more than 1:10 ratio.
@Aconitesgarden youโre very welcome! Iโm also new to propagation so Iโve been studying a lot. Propagation works not only in water but also in sphagnum moss, perlite, and even soil itself! Feel free to ask anything and if I can help, I will :)
@BrightBlueberry thank you I got it online @walmart.com โค๏ธ๐ชด
