5 Tips for a SUPER BUSHY Pothos Plant!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ค. 2024
- Growing a HUGE pothos plant with bushy, big leaves and a vining habit is pretty simple, provided you take note of these 5 tips. We often forget that Epipremnum aureum is a vining, vigorous grower in its natural habitat. So mimicking that habitat as well as some pruning and propagation techniques will keep your pothos looking bushy and full for years to come.

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
Epic Gardening glad you corrected yourself but Pothos is an actual genus and has nothing to do with Epipremnums
This is also a scindapsus exotica
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!)
Paige .M no it is not an exotica

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, great additional point!
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.
This is good to know. I currently only have one vine and was hoping it did that if/when I cut it
Hey! I really like long vines, but I also want my plant to be bushy. If I cut a vine will that one not grow longer at all?
I pruned my jasmine TODAY and I'm just so excited AND impatient for New growths
My house is made for pothos, I started with one because it was “easy” I now have at least 10 massive pothos. My favorite!
You're the queen of pothos!
Amanda Beauchamp - NewEnglandMumma When I was little my best friend’s mom hung pothos in every corner of their ceiling and strung the vines around the whole house. It was so epic!!! She was also a New England Mumma, what a coincidence 😂
Pothos and philodendrons are my absolute favorite plants!! 💚🌿💚🤗
👏🏽💜
Dont blame you
Pothos are my favourite as well
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.
Yeah that's a fantastic tip if you have a bunch of cuttings
I have one that goes almost the whole way around the ceiling in my bathroom. We vaulted the ceiling and put in a shelf for the plant and hung the vines all around. It's very peaceful.
That is so EPIC
i'd love to see that bathroom
I wish I could post pics here
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.
ooooo! That sounds amazing! Can we see?
A while ago, I built a giant slatted wood wall and got a pothos. Attatched the pothos to the wall.
*Since then it turned into a giant wall of green and I L o v e I t*
I would love to see this! Sounds breathtaking!
oh I’d love to see how big those leaves on yours are lol
Ah, the ol' disguise-a-bunch-of-props-as-a-mature-plant trick! Big fan.
;)
I bought one online.. it was sticks shoved into dirt..
All of us patiently and desperately waiting for an update of that beautiful plant
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.
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
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.
Yes.- That is correct. I used to be a photographer. Indoor light is so much dimmer than outdoor light.
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.
So glad to hear this success story!
I've been really wanting these Pothos plants. Thank you for sharing her beauty with us!
You're welcome!
Such a resilient plant is the pothos. Love propagating and repotting.
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.
Yeah that's a fantastic idea!
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 🌱
This video was so helpful! I love the look of a bushy pothos!
Great job explaining your bushy pothos process. It totally makes sense! Thanks for all you do! 🪴😀
So easy to follow, so happy I found this video! Already my favourite plant channel
What a beautiful plant!
The Exotica is one of my top three favorite plants. So beautiful and so easy.
Couldn't agree more
@@epicgardening I find mine are slow growing and the leaves are small. I have them hanging in the window, what is happening?
Super helpful tips, amping up my Pothos game asap! Thanks man!
Great info. I’m a new plant parent. Pothos are my favorites. I know have 5 plants ❤️❤️❤️
I want to have my first house plant in my room and your videos definitely helped me choosing the right type, really looking forward to buying my own pothos now
Good luck Pili!
UMMMM WHAT your backyard is gorgeous!!!
Wow! My favorite plants
This video came to me just in time. I have a satin pothos that is balding on top and has long, scraggly vines. Thanks!
Good luck!
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.
I have a small exotica but the leaves it puts out is getting smaller and smaller. It doesn't get too much sun but it gets good filtered light and I don't know why they're so small 🥺
I can watch you all day. I love your videos!
Great information, thanks. For holding in the moisture over the new cuttings, I use those little containers that lettuce and baby spinach come in..
Yep, great idea. I personally use a garden cloche but that's basically the same thing
you're very inspiring! thanks for sharing your passion & knowledge!!!
I love your hints.
Very well presented in highly articulated form with loads of useful info without unnecessary flowery words, for a newby such as myself. I'm encouraged and I think you'll help me out of my fear of "killing plants. Thank you, indeed!
Love the summary. Thank you.
I NEED that apron, looks high quality and worth the price for years of use.
I am living for this! I currently have a leggy satin pothos that needs some TLC. thanks for the tips!!
You bet!
Wow you can get in my plants 🤤
Great tips! Thank you!
I had a pothos that lived for 27 years before it gave up it's ghost!
Wow that's a LONG time
pheotonia
We have one that is referred to as, “ The Grandmother plant” .
It is growing all over the country! I started my own with the, “ SILVER QUEEN” she is gorgeous!
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!
What does that mean? Gave up its ghost?
@@carolinebaker8591 It's will to live. It's desire to survive.
This video is exactly what I was looking for! My pothos is suuuuper leggy and I didn’t know what to do with it. I have like 10 feet of vine wrapped around the pot! 😅 I’m going to go watch your propagation video now. Thanks!
Beautiful Pothos Kevin thanks for the advice.
I was confused with describing this plant as a pothos! Thanks for the correction , it was driving me **crazy**
I have one that's like yours sitting in my window doing fine, but I have a golden Pothos who kept getting yellow leaves. It's now hanging on my door, perhaps 2-3 meters away from the window and it's putting out new growth like crazy! Thank you for these tips btw! ❤️
You're welcome! Glad to hear it's doing better

Glad you enjoyed!
wow ...watching here in South korea
Awesome Video, Thanks so much for the info :)
I found this to be very helpful!
lovely video!
Would to see more of your back yard space. Thanks for these tips. Most of my Pathos are still in the smaller stage. Love them.
Happy to do more videos in the Shady Zen Oasis
@@epicgardening So looking forward to it. My back yard is now covered in snow. About 6 new inches so far today. Thanks for the tips. You made me go back to look at my Pathos plants. I feel they are getting close to sending down runners. I am also growing my older ones up moss poles. Supposed to make the leaves larger. Have you done this?
Yes I would love to see a diffenbaucha care replant and tip video keep growing loved the video
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.
wow so nice your photos i love it
wow very nice pothos and so rare nice live livea .. thank you for sharing
I’m a first time visitor to your channel and loved your video so much I’ve subscribed. Live near Chicago and currently on Covid 19 lockdown and like many others who are quarantined, looking for something productive to do. It snowed last night so working outside in the garden isn’t feasible but “indoor gardening” is. Looking forward to seeing your other videos. 😘😘
Fantastic and lovely presentation Friend obrigado
Thanks for excellent video friend
Oh my word! :D This is so exciting! lol
You are amazing I love that plants thanks for sharing very beautiful and helpful enjoy see you
Thanks! Pothos are perfect for those indoor locations were the light is too low for other plants and you don't want to add artificial light!
Exactly!
Would love an update on how this is doing now!
I wish I had your leaf cuttings ❤️❤️ so pretty!! :)
Your place looks to amazing :O You truly inspire me of going out and buying a potho right now :D 🌿🌿🌿
wow, kevin. what a beautiful patio. nice pothos and thanks for the information. i usually pin the stragglers with a bobby pin back into the growing medium and they do root. i also weave the vines up for a good show. i gotta get one of those satin pothos. later for you guy, carmine.
Yeah that works really well too Carmine!
That plant is just gorgeous! I have a philodendron I am currently trying to fill out a bit in his pot with these methods (:
Good luck Amy!
I’ve had one for about six months now and it (I named it Sherman) hasnt grown or changed much so Im going to try all these tips today. I bought two more and named them Timber, and Marcel. Lol!
Love these names!
Thank you!!!
I’d love to see a video on hydroplants!
I'll add to the list!
I'm inspired by your channel. I hope one day we can get ours to look as smooth as yours does
root pruning!!! :0 i was always sp scared to do this bc i though id kill the plant completely but now i know thank u !!!
Same here!!
My pothos mother is growing crazy. So is her daughter, plant two. I'm gonna have to take clippings again soon because my room is starting to look like Jumangi😁 My secret weapon? A 300w full spectrum LED grow light. I leave for work around 9pm, light comes on at 11pm and goes off at 6am. It's stupid bright and my houseplants are just loving the light 👍
Cool .I wish I have one of those.thanks for sharing. Watching dropping my support friend. Happy new year.
Merci 👍
