As the title suggests I’d like to propagate this plant with cuttings but I’m not really experienced with this.
Looking for advice, tools, equipment, good soil, growth hormone recommendations, etc to help me get this plant off the ground. It’s really pretty to me and I was excited to grow it but I’m not entirely sure the best way to do that honestly.
Watering habits are none yet. It’s basically just been sitting in the bag for a few days.
It gets pretty good light sitting near a window in this bag.
Thanks again!!

It’s a pothos dude, just throw it down an active volcano and watch it find a way to climb back up
It looks like a great candidate for water propagation! You’re best off chopping the plant into smaller stems – you should choose parts that have 1-3 nodes on them. Nodes are usually where a leaf meets the main stem and there is sort of a little bump. That’s where the roots will grow from. Place your cuttings in water with the nodes submerged and in a few weeks you should see white roots emerging. Once you have lots of healthy white roots you can plant the cuttings in well draining soil and water every 2-3 weeks or when the soil is *completely* dry. Propagation takes patience but you should have success with that amount of cuttings. Good luck 😊
Hey OP, that’s a golden pothos, it’s indestructible, you can easily propagate it, and there are several growing strategies. Mine started as a cutting, which became a stringy plant. I cut it again and put it on a moss pole and it’s getting steadily larger leaves.

I just plop them in water and, when the roots are sufficient enough, I plant in soil then make sure to keep them watered well for at least a few weeks so they can handle the switch better.
I don’t do anything special. But I usually try to have a few props going at a time so I can start a new plant once they are all ready.
Chop between each node and put all the cuttings in a zip lock with some water for a month or two.
Once you see some roots start venting the bag to get it used to the air inside your home.
Once that’s done plant all the cuttings in a pot and put in some light. Don’t forget to water once a week or so.
I circled a few of the many nodes you have. Cut in between, submerge nodes in water, change water weekly or if it looks filmy or gross or has swimmers (mosquito larvae). Be patient. When roots are a couple inches long, you can pot them.
