I was given a pothos that looked pretty bad. I cut some of the better ends off to put in water, they rooted well. The rest of the plant looked horrible, droopy leaves, long, empty vines and some of it looked rotted. I dumped it out, it was pot bound and most of the roots were black. I took out the sections with the good roots and repotted it in a better draining mixture. I'm going to hang it in my upstairs bathroom where there is some humidity and hope for the best. These are the cuttings I placed in water.
