I want to put this marble queen pothos cutting into soil, but I’m worried that it’s too variegated to make the transition. Should I leave it in the water or will it be just fine? Maybe I’m paranoid but I’m emotionally attached lol

I don’t think variegation has anything to do with planting viability? (unless its like fully albino or something) It has more to do with the roots being 2 inches long at least

Since they are water roots and not soil roots I would also plant it a seed starter type soil first. The roots are more delicate

I don’t usually have a problem with the transfer. Put a little bit of soil on the bottom, put plant in, fill all around and give it a really good soak. The biggest thing is making sure it’s really wet the first time, then you can transition to watering when it’s dry

I wouldn’t be concerned. I prefer the water roots to be 3-4 inches before potting. No matter what I pot in, I will water daily or every other day for a little and slowly wean the plant until it can maintain with weekly watering. Give the water roots some time to adjust to soil 🙂

So which kind of Marble Queen is this?

Mycorrhizae sprinkled on the roots when transferring can help prevent or lessen root shock

Variegation doesn’t affect the transitions… The quality of the roots affect that. It’ll be fine
