Hey guys! So I’ve tried to propagate this pothos another way to make the process a bit faster and I’ve put some 20-20 in my water propagation (changing every week) but now the new leafs are growing moldy. What should I do? (Also at the bottom I used some candle wax to prevent bacteria entering but I think it didn’t worked out that well)

I don’t think you can hurry them up. Resistance is futile (Borg Collective, Startrek 🤣). So, thecway I did every time, was to fill a thoroughly cleaned Starbuck Mocha small bottle, fill with clean tap water, wait till the chlorine fizzes out, in the mean time, take cutting of pothos ( or most any plant, even Jasmine) at a node and if you can, have at least one extra node between the leaves and the lower node. Wet the node and roll it in grounded cinnamon. And just plunk it in the water (at room temp.) Keep it in a north-eastern or preferably South-eastern window, where it can catch at least, meh, 3 – 4 hours of indirect sun. It is important to change water every 3 – 4 days. Soon, you will see little root bumps. Then its just a matters of hours (72 – 96 hours 😆) you will see strands of roots. Then you can put it in a pot of your choice withvdrainage holes, filled about 3/4 th with potting soil, and water it till you see some water in the tray under the pot. You’re all done, for a week! Or so, before you water it again. Pothos is a very forgiving plant. If you see the leaves wilting, you neglected too long to water. You water it, and it’ll be happy again.
