I've always wondered should I propagate in water or soil, so I did a 7 week comparison for water vs soil propagation for pothos! On day 1, I planted 6 cuttings in soil directly and put another 6 cuttings in water to root. When the roots of the water propagation had grown long enough, I moved them in soil. Then I compare the 2 pots at the end of week 7. I also share a few other advantages and disadvantages of water vs. soil propagation. Hope you enjoy the video!
For a more detailed explanation of how I make cuttings, check out this video I made on neon pothos (propagation for neon pothos is the same as for golden pothos used in this video) :
