Is it better to propagate pothos in water or soil?
Pothos plant propagation can be done in water or soil, but once it begins, the plant has difficult switching to the other growing medium. If you place the cutting in water, the plant should remain in water once it grows larger. The same goes for a cutting propagated in the soil.

Is it better to root in water or soil?

Do cuttings need light to root?
Successful rooting of cuttings requires careful management of the environment, especially air and media temperature, humidity and light. Managing light is at least as important because inadequate light delays rooting while too much light can excessively increase leaf temperature and cause plant stress.
