Hi guys, I found a band of wild pothos near my house and took a few clippings. These bad boys have been in water for over a month now, are they ready to repot? I'm looking to grow a large indoor pothos with multiple vines, should I put all four lots into a suitably sized pot? Use grow lights?? Any advice would be awesome, thanks!

I’m no expert but I believe that these are ready and that it’s common practice to pot multiple pothos cuttings together. They grow fast though and each of these is already fairly leafy so potting them separately would also make sense.
That’s so cool that you found them in the wild!
Oh and for the light, they like bright indirect light but they’re tolerant to lower light. I have lamps on all of mine because they thrive and grow more that way. There’s a bunch at my work that only ever see office lighting, not even a dim window, and they’re hanging on somehow but not really happy.
These definitely look ready! Get some sphagnum moss to transition to and it will help them build more solid roots before transferring to soil. It’s not mandatory of course but some people find they struggle to thrive going straight from water to soil.
I have found that about 5 vines work in a 10cm/4inch pot and then when they have a bit more established roots, I’ll transition about 10 to a 15cm/6inch pot.
Using a grow light will depend on your available light source at the moment. If you can provide it a bright filtered light position for a good portion of the day you def don’t need a grow light. However if it’s somewhere that doesn’t get good sunlight then a grow light is handy
