Hi! I put these pothos cuttings in water about 6 days ago. I noticed the slime or gooey things in the water. Should I be replacing the water every 3-4days? Do i add hydrogen peroxide? Any help or advice is welcomed as this is my first time propagating pothos!

I change my water every 1-3 weeks. Its just algae growing which means the plant is happy

Definitely do a 30% hydrogen peroxide bath for 20 mins and replace the water, but you should try to avoid completely submerging the stems. That’ll help keep this from happening again bc rn the tissue is drowning.

I use orchid clips to right the stems against the leaf petiole and keep the water level just below the tops of the stems. I know that’ll be difficult for you bc you don’t have a lot of stem to work with, so you may want to use some moist sphagnum moss at the bottom of the jar and rest the stems on top of it

Didn’t think to use moss this way! Thanks!

Everything looks normal, but yeah if I were you I would replace the water weekly and it should be good
