CEBU BLUE (EPIPREMNUM PINNATUM) | Care And Propagation. I also pot up some current perlite propagations into soil and add a burlap pole for it to grow upwards.
I love cebu blue. Started with a few small rooted cuttings. Now I have a full plant and it’s starting to climb a second stacked moss pole. Leaves are getting bigger and bigger. Such an easy, quick growing plant. Love your videos. Thank you!
LOVE Me Some Cebu Blue... I Had Thoughts Of Cebu Blue Curtains When I First Got Some!!! The Cebu Blues Have Proven To Be Some Plant Survivors For Me...DEFINITELY Plants That DON'T Give Me The Blues!!!
Mine started as a 3 leaf cutting a year ago and now I have 2 full pots. One climbing and one trailing too. I also sold a couple small pots to recoup my cost since the 3 leaf one cost a ridiculous $30 but I had to have it. It’s one of my favourite plants.
Your Cebu are beautiful like rest of your plants ❤️ I think people water them to much, that's the biggest problem. They are pothos, they need to be little dry to be watered again
Your cebus are beautiful. I can’t wait until mine starts growing more so I can start propagating it. Cebu blue and scindapsus’ are currently my favourites.
I got a 6 inch pot Cebu blu in the summer. I had to repot it mid August and I have since propagated it twice and just potted up the first propagation. I did propagate in water and am giving those to my sister. I think I will be doing my Micans soon as it is starting to beget leggy. Cebu blue and the moonlight are by far my favorite plants in my collection.
Hi Cathy! I have found that the best way to purchase these is in online plant groups. I am a member of a few on Facebook ( I only use that social media for my plant groups 😉) search your area for a house plant Buy/Sell/Trade group for your location! It’s a fun hobby and you can generally meet really great people who love plants too. They also have big box store plant groups that let you know where special plants come in for less. We have had cebu 6” baskets come into my area randomly for less than $16. However, be very vigilant about pests when buying from these stores. Quarantine and treat them right when you get home.
@@andrealarson6123 I traded mine with someone from a plant group as well! This is a great method for obtaining plants if you have something to trade as well.
Hi Jeff, very helpful video! I have a rather lame looking Cebu blue that is finally starting to grow. My previous propagation (water then into soil) didn’t do well. When it looks better I will try your prop method as this is a beautiful plant. Love your burlap/bamboo stake! I’m going to try making one of those! Thanks!
All of your videos have been helpful to me 🌿‼️ Thank you for sharing (12/4/2021). My cebu wasn’t looks good, I looked at the roots and they were all root bound. I was so surprised, I immediately upsized it
Nice video. Love your prop box and moss pole ideas. I have never seen a mature leaf form even with climbing. I guess that doesn’t happen that often like other plants.
I have only had this plant for about a month and a half. I did propagate a few cuttings in water and they seem to be doing well. But I will definitely try the perlite next time it needs a haircut. Jeff, will you show us this plant again as it starts to grow up the pool? Another great video as always
I looked at all my nursery plants (the three I have near me) for this plant and one had never heard of it, the other two were 'sold out' as soon as they arrived. I don't like the size vs price on Amazon plus I really want to see the plant; So I did find a nursery with 4 of them. They are HUGE. They have about 4-6 long stems with very wide leaves. I would need to grab a cart to roll it to my car. They need poles of some kind to hoist them up. Or I suppose they can lay down on what table they are on. These plants are all $45.00. I stared and stared at them trying to decide....I went home and watched your video and a few others and none of these videos show the plant that looks like the ones in my nursery. The sign at the nursery has Cebu Blue (Epipremnum Pinnatum) just like here, so I guess the ones I saw were mature, a few years old. (?) I'm thinking of going there today to bring one home before they are all gone. Thanks for this info. If it decides it doesn't like it in my house and commits suicide I'll try to save a stem, leaf, before it does that to propagate it. Thanks for this info. It's really a Blue mystery.
@@EverythingPlants oh man, it’s been a journey 😆 my first two tries were just cuttings. The first cutting I bought was in moss, and I discovered the roots had rotted when I received it. I saved it in leca, but then I apparently put a millimeter too much water and the roots rotted again a month or two later. I rooted my second cutting fine and eventually put them both in soil (tiny 2” pot). They were ok for a while but then they started getting yellow leaves. I eventually bought a very full 4” pot online, the roots died on that one after I went up half a pot size to add my existing cuttings to it. 🙄 the seller was so kind and sent me a new pot, I haven’t touched it and it’s doing fine lol. I have a whole prop box full of Cebu blue right now with the saved cuttings. Nervous to combine them with the existing plant but I’ll have such a nice full pot when I do. Wish me luck 🤣
I've heard arguments from both sides of it being good and bad for houseplants. I water my sundew with distilled water, but all my other plants get filtered tap water. Can you collect large amounts of rain water for long term watering of houseplants?
@@EverythingPlants that's what I give all of my carnivorous plants. Up till now they were the only plants I've owned. Lol. I will try to collect rain water. Thank you for responding.
@@EverythingPlants I've used the Gorilla Glue version of the flex seal tape on a few planty projects. Mostly for sealing the drainage holes in decorative pots so I can use them as reservoirs for leca set-up. After watching this video, I'm thinking about using it to waterproof a bamboo stick. I'm SOOO glad I saw your video this evening. I am transferring my Philodendron Pink Princess from soil to leca. I've already removed all of the soil from the roots and was dreading having to put her on a sphagnum moss pole. I'm taking a break before tackling the rest of that project and when I opened my TH-cam app this video was literally at the top of my feed. What are the odds⁉️🤷♀️ Now I'm going to wrap up some burlap for her to grab on to. Thank you for all of the content you put out there in the virtual plant world. 🙏
@@AngieMoTheWeatherHo it will be more of a support stake to grow up. The roots may grow into it but most likely just for vertical support. You can put any climbing plant on this...same with the pink princess
I love Cebu blue but had to chop mine into wet stick propagations. I tried rooting cuttings in soil moss and water and none transferred well. The wet sticks are actually growing.
Hello and welcome. As long as it is full spectrum then either is fine and comes down to preference. I dislike the pink light and prefer a more natural light, but that's just me. Hope this helps
Do you any established burlap pole with plants growing? I would like to see as I have few plants I want to put on poles. I plan to use the cage wire with moss method but it wouldn’t hurt to try something else.
node cutting My epipremnum pinnatum cebu blue plants have no roots and I propagated them using damp coconut fiber in a jar without holes and I covered it with a lid with holes to let it air out but it's been more than a month now and it hasn't. Is there any root?
Try rooting them in a perlite propagation box. I do have a number of videos on how to set them up and maintain them if you're interested. That is what I would recommend if you're having issues with water. Propagation

Not sure what happening to mine but it died but trying to root what’s left in water. I just bought it too. Not sure if I watered when it didn’t need it or waiting too long to water it. I dunno 🙁🙁
No I bought it this summer. I repotted it after a couple of weeks of having it cause the soil was horrible and watered like usual and that’s when it died. oh well. It happens

I really liked ur idea for the moss pole..thanks for ur tyme w the video.
Thanks. It is so much easier and cleaner, plus I hope less moss are taken from bogs.

I bought 3 little cuttings for $ 35

I was happy to see your moss pole wrapped in burlap. I wondered if that might be a lot less messy. Love the Cebu Blue.
It is a breeze and don't have to use moss.
I just made one out of the messy stuff and chicken wire and I hate it! I’m going this route from now on! Thank you!

I just chopped mine up to propagate! I think I’ll pot them up with a pole to try for larger leaves!

So pretty🌿✨
Thanks!
Nice! My favourite plant! Even though I’ve struggled so much with it (roots rotted every time). I’m on my fourth try and so far so good lol. 🤞🏻
