1. Yes this is a Scindapsus pictus, not a pothos (Epipremnum aureum) - I know that :) but the tips are the same 2. You can pot up multiple cuttings into the same hole to increase bushiness even further 3. The powder I use when potting the cuttings is this: www.xtreme-gardening.com/mykos 4. The sexy apron is one I custom-designed specifically for gardening, check it out here: findaprons.com/products/harvest-apron-designed-in-partnership-with-kevin-espiritu

It's all good, Kevin. Pothos is in its nickname. Epipremnum isn't Pothos either. The actual genus Pothos, I don't think many people keep as a houseplant (I'm sure some do though!)

Epic Gardening Cool variety! Not in favor of long and scragglier plants. I like them bushier.

Don’t forget that pruning doesn’t just make it /look/ bushier but it will actually force the plant to grow in new areas rather than the existing vines you just pruned back. So in turn that makes your plant fuller! I wish I realised this sooner, once I started pruning mine it grew new shoots like crazy

Yes! If you have damaged parts of the plant it's going to put all of its energy into repairing it instead of using its energy to actually grow and flourish.

something I do is when I add new cuttings to a pot, I plant them in groups of 3 in the same hole. That adds to the bushiness once they start growing.

And pothos are "air scrubbers" they will take all the nasty out of the air in your home & replace it with pure oxygen. Peace lilies are good scrubbers too and can grow in lower light areas like pothos can, but neither tolerate direct sunlight.

I bought one online.. it was sticks shoved into dirt..

Today, I went to a botanical garden and there was golden pothos growing on a 5m tall rocky wall. The size of the leaf and the thickness of the stem was insane. I just could not believe it was the same plant i've seen in stores.

All of us patiently and desperately waiting for an update of that beautiful plant

I just recently started getting into having plants in my home. My first one was a pathos and it’s insane how huge and bushy it’s gotten as I’ve pruned and repotted the cuttings back inside the original pot. Now I’ve created two other pathos plants from all my vine cuttings and they’re all thriving so well. It’s awesome to see them constantly sprouting new growth almost daily.

You’re videos are always informative and easy to follow especially if you’re a beginner gardener. Your tips are helpful -it’s great that you don’t have a long and boring intro before each video, you get right to the point!

I had a pothos that got scraggly. There were about 10" long stems without leaves. I took those stems and stuck them in a pot. maybe 10 stems. 8 months later I now have a very bushy plant. I also had a pothos that start growing towards my hydroponics light. I am still amazed how big the leaves have become. The lower stems toward the dirt were just 1/4 the size of the big leaves.

I have just started growing indoor plants. I havoc been researching hundreds of sites. This is the first site of anything that I’ve subscribed to. You actually explain everything so clearly. Thank you

Yes.- That is correct. I used to be a photographer. Indoor light is so much dimmer than outdoor light.

My hubby bought me a silver pothos last night and I am just absolutely amazed at the silver that is in it! It's breathtaking 🥰 so I came to you first to research proper care for it. I'm going to be repotting it later today cause it's totally growing out of the tiny pot that walmart had it in. Thank you for all the great tips. I have learned soooo much from your videos. I hope that my own channel will help others like you help so many! 💚🌱 Peace ✌️ love 💚 and plants 🌱

You can also lay the vine on the soil and pin it down to the soil with a bobby pin or a piece of wire. Once the vine is attached to the soil at the root nodes, cut between each node. I spiral my pothos vines on the surface of the soil, which serves 2 purposes. It makes my plant more full, and directs the vines toward the center so I can stake it later.

I have been growing Golden & Jade Pothos for 40+ years! It goes by so fast. Periodically it just needs to be divided or propagate and start a fresh root system. I cut them back in the spring and feed with a long-acting fertilizer like osmocote and by the time they come in in the fall they are trailing 4ft or longer. Recently I expanded my collection with several other pothos , vining philodendron & scindapsus. I have started with 4" pots and plan to grow them to big hanging baskets. So fun and easy these plants!

This isn’t a trailing plant. It’s climbing plant. The reason the vine is getting long and scraggly as it trails down because it’s not supposed to trail down. Staking your Pothos to a moss pole or using 3M clips to grow your vine up a wall will prove more beneficial to the plants health. Good luck.

Beautiful Pothos Kevin thanks for the advice.

I’ve had one of these for 3 1/2 years. I just barely pruned it back as it is hanging to the floor. I see it is sending out new leaves. I’ve put cuttings in water and am ready to do what you’ve done in your video. Thanks for the info. I thought I’d killed my plant a couple of years ago when I fertilized it at half strength and it dropped half of its leaves. I’m glad it has done so well with a different type of fertilizer since then. Whew.

I can watch you all day. I love your videos!
