I’ll show you how to propagate pothos Epipremnum aureum devil’s Ivy, money plant by stem cuttings. Also how to propagate leafless stems.
Take a long vine from a plant that has at least 5-6 leaves. Cut the stem close to the edge of the pot between two leaves. Don’t be afraid to prune your pothos. It will push out new growth from where you cut it snd also shoot new stems. Pruning can help it get bushier
On the stem there is a leaf and node where leaf is growing. There is a node wherever there is a leaf on the stem. Under the node there are brown crusty things, those are called aerial roots. New roots will grow from these aerial roots. Pothos also use aerial roots to attach them to surface when climbing.
Cut the stem between every leaf leaving one inch on each side and get rid of the extra stem. Take warm tap water ( not hot ) in a vase, cup or glass. It doesn’t have to be clear. I use clear containers so I can check on root progress all the time. Then gather all the cutting and put them in water. Make sure all the nodes are submerged in water.
Make sure to change water every few days or once a week. It needs needs water and oxygen to grow. Fresh tap water has oxygen in it. You keep these cutting in a warm place and in bright indirect light. You can use heat mat if you have. I never tried that.
Roots will starting to grow within two weeks. Sometimes it can take longer in winter. They need warmth.
Once roots are one to two inches long, you can transfer them in soil. You can keep them growing in water for years if you like. You just have to change the water and add some liquid fertilizer every two months. When transferring in soil you can use regular potting mix and add some perlite in it. It will keep the soil airy. Pothos like to be dry out completely between waterings. But you need to keep the cutting moist for 4-6 weeks or until you see new growth.
If you have hard time keeping them moist just place the pot in clear glass or planting container which can be closed. Then keep it where it gets morning sunlight or few hours of any sunlight. It can stay moist for weeks. If for any reason you LR cutting are not doing well. You can take them out of soil rinse the soil completely and put them back in water. Once they are doing well in water maybe after few weeks, you can transplant them in soil again. If pothos leaves are getting they are getting too much water or it could be pests. If they are droopy that means they need more water.
Pothos can grow in medium to low light light. But they grow faster and get bigger leaves when they get more light. They grow really well in morning sun like east facing window. But you can also put them few feet away from south of west facing windows.
You can fertilize them every two months or whenever you see they are growing, you can fertilize them. Make sure to dilute the fertilizer further.
If for some reason your pothos leaves have died off on the plant but you still have heathy stems, you can still propagate them. They will grow slowly but they will get new leaves.
Pothos are very easy to grow and propagate. If you are a beginner start with pothos.

I liked this video so much better than most plant care influencer videos! I'm looking forward to seeing more from you. Things I really liked: 1. you kept it short. I hate 25 min videos! 2. you used specific instructions - lengths of roots, # of days, etc. 3. you included text on the screen, as well as closeups of the plants. Here are some suggestions, in case you find them helpful: 1. text on the screen works best when it's reiterating the thing you're saying. It's disorienting to hear one thing and read a different one. It felt like you were using text to add details that you forgot to say out loud, rather than just highlight the most important info. 2. if there are things you forgot to mention, you could cut away and do a separate voiceover (plus corresponding text on screen) over more footage of the plant. 3. add takeaways at the end - show text of all the major bullet points. 4. vary the visuals every 20-30 sec so it's not the same camera angle for too long. You could just intersperse closeups of the plants, etc. Can't wait to see more!

Thank you so much for noticing all the little things. I’m still learning editing. I add the text to keep the video short. But I understand it can be confusing. I’ll keep that in mind. I’ll work on improving the videos. Thanks again for watching and connecting!

Wow that’s going to be a lot. Don’t be nervous. Just keep putting them in water as you are cutting. You can use bigger vases and jars and put 15-20 cutting in one. I have 7-8 vases filled with containers. I pruned a lot of pothos I had in different pots.
So mines got a big yellow leaf, but all the others have dried up brown marks.. am i over watering or not watering enough? The pots well draining and hangs in my kitchen window. Lots of sun.. i dunno if its just picky?.. or.. lol Iv done either both.. letting it try out completely and also drained it well.. lol im at a loss.

Once I while their one or two bottom old leaves can turn yellow. It could be from inconsistent watering. What works best for me is I water them very thoroughly and then let it dry out. If it gets lot is sun. You need to water it more frequently. Before watering you can check if the soil is at least 50% dry.

Hi I just read your email. You need to keep cutting the infected stem until you see no brown or black in the middle of the step. Once you see clean stem sanitize what ever you are using to cut the stem and cut little bit more. You really need to sacrifice that stem all the way if you have to otherwise it will continue to spread to the rest of the plant. Then let the cut dry out completely. For a least two weeks or until it forms a callus.

No it’s the infection in the stem or rot whatever you want to call it. You need to keep cutting until you see it’s clean. There should not be any spots when you cut a healthy stem.

Hi I got your email. The last picture is still showing some brown. You need to cut more until no brown spots. If you still see brown then get rid of the root part as well. You can propagate that stem. But it’s some sort of infection. You need to get rid of it completely.
Can you make follow up video to show how roots grow and when is the best time to transplant them in soil?
@PlantingwithTej
2 жыл бұрын
Sure I’ll make that video in the future. Normally I transplant them in soil when they have 2-3 inches of roots. I have also tried growing them directly in soil. That method works good as well. That way you don’t have to worry about transplanting them and worry about losing some in the process.
