If you’re rooting cuttings in water, you should throw a cutting of Golden Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) into the same vessel, because it helps the “companion plant” root faster. If you search online – particularly on TikTok and Instagram/Facebook reels, in my experience – you can find dozens and dozens of examples of people who swear by this method, often with scientific-sounding explanations attached.
Unfortunately, every indication is that this is completely a myth.
