My Pothos got a bit long and dropped leaves in the middle of its stem. I didn't want to cut it directly since in my experience it would drop more leaves on the newly cut piece, so I wanted to try air layering. I've never done air layering before and didn't want to use sphagnum moss, so I gave it a try with coco coir.

After 11 days in moist coco coir in this little piece of an old plastic bag, it has little roots! In a week or perhaps two it should be ready to be separated from the mother plant and potted. 🥰
