My grandmother is dying and this is one if her plants that I am trying to keep alive. When i got it the white parts were wrapped in paper towels and in a cup and I tried burying them in the soil but it didn't work out well.

She stresses not to over water them like once a week and lightly. Foes anyone know what these are called? And the best way to save this one? The one pic by beavis and butthead is of a healthier one she had planted before.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother. That plant is easy to save. In fact, it’s incredibly hard to kill. I’ve had one for more than 30 years. All you have to do is cut it back and water it regularly. It’ll grow back with a vengeance. Maybe repot it with a little extra soil once it’s stronger. Oh, and it’s a pothos.
