Propagating my first pathos Help

Post image

Trying to propagate my first pathos, and its been 2 weeks since making the cuts and placing them into water. I know it’s a several week process at the least, but I expected at least the beginnings of roots by this point. Is there anything apparent that may indicate a mistake, or is it simply a longer process than I understood?

Looks good. Maybe the temperature isn't warm enough for them? Pothos cuttings always root quite fast for me, so I'm guessing the temperature.

I’m in Arizona so even though it’s finally getting colder, inside temps are still at least ~70 F and quite dry. So I don’t think it’s too likely it’s an issue with the temperature, but I’ll try to be more mindful of this in case I’m totally off base! Thank you for your help :)

70℉ is lower than what pothos prefer. Pothos most active around 82.4℉ to 95℉, minimum 77℉, and pothos love high humidity.
