I propagated this pothos from my mom’s main plant last summer and it has grown more leaves but now I am repotting it and noticed how long these roots are. Would it benefit from being trimmed or is it okay to leave them? Thanks!

Why cut them? Just tuck them all into the pot, or swirl them around like spaghetti before adding more soil.
I wouldn’t cut them. It’s not good to damage roots
There is no reason to trim those roots
They’re a bit long, but cutting would do more harm than good. Just tuck them all in the pot and water heavily at first (the water roots will take time to acclimate).
So yeah, definitely don’t cut – they’ll fall off naturally in time when the plant doesn’t need them anymore.
The plant never benefits from trimming roots. It stunts the growth. The only reason to trim the roots is that if they’re rotten or if you don’t have a bigger pot.
Yes
It’s perfectly fine to prune roots on a well established plant but this plant is still a baby, it needs those 🙂
