Show notes
Nina and Omar revive a pothos that a neighbor left out by the bins. Omar cuts the long bare vines into short pieces, each with a leaf and a node, and roots them in glass jars of water on a windowsill. Two weeks later every cutting has grown roots, and Omar plants them together in one pot to make a bushy, full plant.
