I want to transfer my pothos plant to a water vase. Below is a photo of my plant and a photo i found online of more or less what i want to achieve.

My plan is to just cut the very bottoms of all the stems and throw it in a vase filled with water. Even if 50% of it survives well in the water it will be sufficient. I would also wrap a large ziplock bag or clear garbage bag around the vase for the first week.

When is the best time to transfer it? Immediately after watering? A day after watering? A day BEFORE watering?

Do I need to cut stems at a particular angle?

Do I need to remove any leaves before putting it in the vase?

Do i fill the water to the absolute top? Halfway? How much of the stem should be in the water? Should any leaves be submerged in water at all?

I have rooting powder. Should I use it?

How often should I change the water and clean the vase? How should I clean the vase? Soap and water?

Are there any benefits of adding rocks or pebbles to the vase? Does it matter if the rocks are covering the roots and stems?

Any other advice greatly appreciated.
