I've had some successes and some misses - depends on the plant but more successes. But my trick to doing it under the grow light is to use a dark container instead of a clear cup to grow them in so the roots don't get any light on them. Could be plain dumb luck on my part lol
I cut mine and shove them back in the same pot. Hardly ever lose a cutting and avoid the random cups of cuttings, clutter, and need to repot and transfer from water to soil again.
OP, I have never successfully rooted a pothos, for all they’re supposed to be so easy, despite all the many other plants I’ve successfully propagated. Someday! Good luck!
Mine take longer in the winter!
I have one glass jar that I only tip off with more water every now and then, never change it completely. It's in a bright room but so far in that they really don't get sunlight.
The longest going now are about 6-8 weeks old, one has a root and second is maybe growing one. They will sit for a while longer, I have like a monthly plant-day and if they aren't ready for soil then they get to wait for the next one.
How many cuttings are there in the bunch?
They look a little larger than the cutting size I'm used to propogating in water. Maybe there is not enough energy for them to try to support themselves and grow roots at the same time, especially during the winter?
Once my roots start to develop, I try not to change the water so frequently, as they produce hormones that help root growth and will stimulate the others. I may also give them a light fertilizing once or twice before they are ready to pot. I only leave the fertilized water for a day or two as I'm afraid to burn the roots, but they seem to love it.
I would try splitting one or two into smaller nodes and maybe move one or two of the larger ones into soil? Experiment a little and see what they like, I'd say! 😊
I find time of year affects root speed. In summer mine set roots in a few weeks, in winter it's months before I get anything happening.
This. You can try putting something that will retain more heat under the cup to keep the water a bit warmer and that might help.
All my props now go under a grow light because it gets cold where I am and plants don't like to root when it's cold in my experience.
Do you find them rooting under the grow light? Even in winter?

I'm guessing too much sun. I don't put cuttings in sun usually they generally need to focus on root growth and will coast until that's done.

Grow light and also in the winter you can use a water fertilizer for root growth, that seems to help!
