      Yes! In my experience, pothos can be planted in soil with much less of a root system! That way too they don’t get too used to water life 😂

    2. Is water life bad? I have some pothos I’ve never moved from water, and a monstera that’s seems happy being aquatic.

      From what I’ve read, established water roots (green) are different from soil roots and can take longer to establish/are quicker to develop root rot. I would trim most of the green/brown roots down to a few inches. Run the roots under some tepid water and try to remove any dead roots (they come off pretty easily and feel like wilted lettuce).

      What you really want from water propagation are those white roots that grow after a couple weeks and placing it in soil before it becomes too used to water. OR come join us over at the hydro sub! I have cuttings from the same plant in water and soil and my hydro homie is the good twin

      Yes! I potted my cutting after a root was about an inch long.

      You could have planted that with one tiny little wisp and it would have grown lol 😝

      Thanks for the reminder to put my latest in dirt! Much less root, so long as they are clearly growing and have an ok length I just go for it.
