Here Im going to teach you the best methods and why you would choose one over the other when propagating pothos cuttings. Both methods work great but result in a different style pothos configuration. After watching this video you should have a better idea why you would choose either method.
Propagating Pothos is a fun way to gain additional plants and share with others.

@10:45 anyone else catch the fork holding up the vine?
I would say more at 10:48
that's so smart tho, A+ for ingenuity
Good eyes!!!!
it lost a lot of leafs... his plants in general are not so well doing...
Haha . . . Spoons get no respek . . .
I appreciate you actually showing the root propagation over time! most people show cuttings and no follow up!
Yeah that drives me nuts, its like the sole reason i started making plant videos!
Exactly! he is honest and shows and especially makes it clear it takes awhiiiiile before anything grows well hahaha
YESS!!!!!
I prefer the bunch in the pot
This is BY FAR, the most comprehensive video about pothos propagation out there, I bought Cebu blue cuttings from Etsy and followed his recommendations, the only thing I did differently was I used sphag moss, the growth has been explosive! Thank you so much, because of you I have a fuller, better looking pothos.
Do you mind me asking what is the sphagnum moss? Or if it improves the life of this specific plant?
@@letmelivemylife ^^
So this works for other types of plants and shrubs ???
100%!!! Straight to the point, very explanatory, super comprehensive! Excellent!
@@letmelivemylife It's just a type of moss. Benefits are that it provides a loose medium that retains moisture which is pretty good for root development.
Whenever I propagate something I'll do two special steps. 1)I'll cover the bottom half of the clear container because roots grow towards darkness and prefer it. 2) when the roots get long enough I sprinkle a little of the soil I'll be planting them in about a week before I plan on planting them
Interesting, it the soil part reminds me of how you acclimate fish to a new tank. Thanks for sharing and watching!
i have a phil & pothos in glass bottles, ive got clear ones, green and brown... sounds like an experiment awaiting...
You add soil to the water?
I saw this comment about a week ago and decided to change the pothos I had that weren't growing roots from a glass bottle to an opaque vase. Now all of my cuttings have roots! Thanks so much for your tips! I hope you have a great day.
Hi! Do you place your cuttings in indirect sunlight? I have mine in an east facing window.
This makes me want to run to my Grandma's to cut some of her pothos 😄
go go go!
I do that with my father-in-law's Pothos plants!! I made two pots of Pothos cuttings for him last year and they've been growing like crazy so every few weeks when I visit him I get a few cuttings so free plants for me!!😁
🤣🤣🤣💕
I’m gonna do that to my mom’s 😬
My garden is prt of my mother’s legacy. Even if it’s not one of her plants, gardening gives me an opportunity to tell others about her while she’s resting in God.s memory. John 5:28,29 is such a comfort to me.
Wow, incredible of you to show the whole process and growth! The most helpful propagation video out there.
Thanks!
+++ So good.
your camera work is the best I've seen on this topic.
Thanks! I try to use all my photography gear to get some good closeups!
"Tolerable to mistreatment" that's my kind of plant 😂 great video! I put mine straight into dirt last week and it seems to be doing ok so far.
Good job!
i never use soil to make new ones of these, it avoids rot,
One day i repotted my pothos in one long vine, turned out i made them stressed and dried. So i cut the dead leaves and let the vine hanging up (i thought that it could be the guide for it to climb up). After few weeks, new leaves are growing from the nodes on the dried vine (which i thought was dead already!!) and forming new vine in new direction!! So do not waste the dried vine guys! Just keep water it and it will grow back 😁
Plants from grandmother's are always best
Kimberly Howard grown with love! ❤️
Wish I could like this twice because of how comprehensive this is. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I’m going to walk into work tonight with some scissors and steal some of their pothos
lol be careful!
I did at my work too! hehe they grow so easily no one would notice. We all do it
It’s like $5 to buy one...
@@kristinkoehne3450 and it’s ✨free✨ to propagate one
@@365daysofveronica I’m going to be doing that but in a plant shop😂😳, wish me luck 🚔
IT's a tough plant, but my wife moved it into a dark bedroom after years of it thriving in the family room. It got almost no light or water, and I'm trying now to bring it back from the brink of death. If it survives, I'll start propagating it, and I never thought about that before until now.
Good luck!
Did it live?
I can’t wait to try both methods! I want my bedroom looking like a jungle
You can do it! Good luck!
The roots are longer in the shorter clippings because the plant doesn't have to expend the energy to nourish the long vine, only a shorter, smaller plant. The longer vine doesn't need longer roots, as the entire vine is being nourished by several new roots. Also, once the long cutting is rooting, you can cut it and have several cuttings like in the other example.
yeap!
Actually, it probably is related to the fact that the single leaf cuttings are a plain green pothos, so with a lot of chlorofyll ergo growth power vs the bundle of marble queen which has a lot more varietion ergo is a weaker plant/grower.
Your older leaves on the marble queen died because they werrent getting enough light. You can tell because all the new leaves reverted to plain green.
Makes sense!
@@TechplantChannel You may know but if not - pothos will do alright in a dim area just so long as there is some light and the plant is well watered and fed. The green parts of the leaves are taking in energy and white parts are where the plant is kind of saying, "okay I have enough light, let's turn part of the energy off."
krankenheim13 cool
@@krankenheim13 my grandmothers pothos goes through seasonal phases in the summer it would produce more variegated leaves and in the winter when the sun didn't get into the windows as much it would just produce green ones my grandmother sent me some pothos cuttings in the mail to remind me of her because I won't get to see her for a while (I moved to Florida I used to live in Oklahoma)
All variegated plants do best in bright indirect light.
Love that you show updates not just the initial process!
yeap, it used to drive me nuts when i look for a guide and they just show them chop a plant and then talk for 20min about nothing
I have a ton of respect for your patience and integrity! Especially in the age where people want to get things out quickly
Thanks!
I grow most of my pothos in water permentaly, i love them in water, that way i can set my water grown plants in any container i want,, and i change my water once or twice a week at least, to provide oxygen, that is the key to a healthy plant
nice work!
This was SO incredibly helpful! My friend gave me single leaf cutting and I was starting to worry that I wouldn’t get a flourishing plant. Seeing what happens over time gave me hope! My leaflings are definitely growing roots, just slowly.
I have a leaf right now 😅 you give me hope
i think the one with 4 vines probably sprouted sooner because les energy was being used for maintaining the current growth. great vid :)
good point!
This is so great!! Thank you! I loved everything about this video. My only negative is that I wish I found this video first rather than wasting my time on all those others that didn't go near as detailed and comprehensive and encouraging!! This is my first time propagating and now I don't feel bad about my little cutting not looking so great. You saved my plant!! LOl!! I'm so glad I found your channel before throwing it out!! Thank you!!
Shot glass, great idea to hold the leaves out of the water!! Pothos were one of the first plants I've propagated after I got into propagation and succulents! I love seeing how well their roots form, and a nice learning experience for the kids also... My children love planting and learning new tricks for each plant. I've been gardening and propagating for about ten years now and I don't see an end date any time soon lol... When the roots start to develop and they get the clear slime around them, I've tried leaving it (the slime) on, and also taking it off, and in my own experience, when I take off the slimy film, (very gently using a damp paper towel, pulling downward to the tip of the root) the roots seem to grow faster than when I leave it. A full 2 days sooner. Thanks so much for this video, it's very educational.
very interesting tip! Ill have to try it, thanks for taking the time and typing all this out. I hope when i have kids they like all this stuff too!
I went to the plant store today! I bought this nice mini bamboo plant, a zebra plant, and a marbled pothos! It has about 3 vines that are starting to trail and I’m so excited to grow this plant. It’s so full and beautiful and healthy! My mom got this super super full neon pothos and whenever it gets older I’m going to take some cuttings of that too
awesome! I hope it grows fast so you can take some clippings, good luck!
@@TechplantChannel I went gain one Monday and bought a string of pearls, pilea, and a croton bush (it’s so beautiful)
Thank you, I learn't something new from your video, no one else compared the two methods of cutting the stem. I propogate & grow pothos alot and have a heavenly lush arrangement in my office and home. I prefer the dense, thick appearance as opposed to thin & leggy and I've learnt by experience that misting the leaves with water causes new leaves to sprout and I also place a glass dome on top of the plant pot when I have just inserted the cuttings. It creates a humid environment for the plantlings, I don't have to water, the cuttings establish themselves in no time and new shoots/leaves also sprout abundantly.
hmm, ill have to try the misting technique to get more branching! thanks for sharing that!
Techplant Hello! I was excited to share a new discovery about growing pothos in water. I cut several leaves just underneath the node and arrange them in an artistic bunch before immersing in a jar/vase of tap water. I even use elastic bands to keep them in bunches. I change the water every 3 days and this causes faster root formation. I recently used warm water from the tap and the roots and several new shoots of leaves formed even faster! I think it mimics the hot humid climates that pothos naturally thrives in.
Another thing I noticed is if the roots are somewhat constrained (in both soil and water containers) several new shoots of leaves are produced faster as apposed to roots growing in a larger roomier container.
Large, lush arrangements of pothos look so beautiful in the room and are psychologically so pleasing. Even visitors, colleagues in my office like to talk about the pothos!
That's an awesome tip! How long after planting cuttings do you typically start to see your first new leaves? I'm about 5 months into mine, and while they leaves look healthy for the most part, there's no new visible growth as of yet.
the best pothus propagation video I've seen. thank you!!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Dude, amazing. I literally just had to finally concede as prune my pathos plant and I was not happy about throwing the 2 vines in the bin. Just didn’t feel right because I love my plants. So I jumped on TH-cam and the first tutorial I find and watch is this! So epic. Thanks so much! My plant wasn’t cut in vain 💛🙏
Good luck with propagating! I hope it roots quick!
I just started having my own pothos and saved it from rotting. It's only been rooted in the soil but it's bouncing back. Thank you for showing how you cut it and how you get bushy pothos. I also love how you added a follow up video on how the two methods work.❤
Very informative, especially with comparisons and the updates! Thank you! 👍💚
LOL my grandma always suspects im about to steal a plant everytime i go near her garden 😹😹😹
lol
When I propagate, I intentionally let the cut callous over before I put it into water to prevent rot, etc. and seem to have about the same growth rate. Also! when I go to pot cuttings that I've rooted in water, I like to sort of coat the wet roots in with dry dirt, it seems to make them a bit less fragile during the planting process.
Big brain
Can they stay in water and not need to be potted in soil?
Javier Ceron no if it stays in too long, the leaves start turning brown
Karmen Aldaz how long should you leave them in before putting up? I have a cutting that has roots but small piece of roots
@@franconavarro342 I know one gal says she waits until they are growing secondary roots.
What makes your videos above others is the time you take. THANK YOU!
This video is beyond awesome! I’m going to start propagating this week!
Awesome!!! Thank you for posting!!
Your video is extremely helpful. THANK YOU
Love the close up on the stems, nodes & roots. Very cool. Thx 🙏 🙋♀️
This was super helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!
This was so incredibly helpful. I’ve been struggling with my propagation. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
sweetheart! you answered all my questions about planting the cuttings from my philo! thank-you!!
Thanks for watching, glad It helped!
I definitely like the multi- trimmed method! Thanks for this great video.
Great visuals and information. Thanks a lot. I’m excited to make my pathos bushier by doing this method. Plants make the world go round!!!
I used to only do the single vine propagation. Switched to single leaf/node and never looked back. Even worked on my M. deliciosa and adansonii
Yeah it just seems way more efficient! I like this method more now too! I gotta get me a monstera and get it propagating!
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
Great technical video and really helpful. Brilliant filming and editing. easy on the eye too. I recently acquired x2 Pothos one regular green and a Marble Queen and so this video was particularly relevant. I'm no stranger to propagation methods but this video has taught me about the difference between producing single and multi vine. Great comments here too which offer some useful tips. Thanks Rachel and Gustavo - I'll give this a whirl
This was so detailed and helpful! Thank you for posting!
I love pothos. They are so easy to take care of. I have one that is almost 40 years old!
Thank you for this video! I like the multi cut method, had never considered doing that. Just took some new pothos cuttings after watching this. 🙌🏼🌿
Yeah same here! once I learned about it I wanted to make the video to spread the knowledge. I always did the one big cutting method.
The multiple cuttings grow fast because it only focus on the single leaf compared the yellow one which needs a lot of energy to grow
This is great! Best video I’ve found for my pothos
That marbled queen grew so beautifully! ❤️ thank you for the information! I’ll be making some plant babies soon
Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thanks! We’re getting into house plants 🌱 and I was thinking about buying a cutting. I didn’t really know what that meant and now I do!
awesome! enjoy the hobby its ton of fun.
I LOVE the time you took to do this!!! Thank you! Exactly what I needed and answered all of my questions.
Im glad the video was useful! thanks for watching!
I agree, it’s so helpful and interesting to see the whole process! Thank you for taking the time and being so thorough. Easily the most helpful propagation video I’ve seen so far!
I loved the look of the marble green. However, I loved the various cuttings of the green pothos that seemed to even out the plant. Thanks for the tips. I’ve been propagating several pothos. I will use your tips for future propagation.
GREAT video for help with a troubled pothos !! Thank you !
This was so informative I like the bushier method. Thanks.
I watched this twice. So helpful! Thank you so much! Very well explained, clear, and well shot and edited :)
thanks for watching!
Thank you, so much for taking the time to make this content. 🤗
I just spent 2 hrs repotting and trimming my pathos, this was super helpful in figuring out how I can get a nice full, bushy additional plant from the clippinngs eventually - i'm going to do both styles, like you did!
Thank you for showing the progression over time.. It really makes me appreciate this plant a lot more
My pleasure
Thanks! Also thanks for being so thorough. Can't wait to try this once my pothos gets bigger! Your video editing is 👍🏻.
Thanks for the kind words! I hope you are successful in your propagation!
This might be the most helpful video I've seen on propogating a pothos plant. Thank you!
Thank you so much for the updates on the growth. Great video!
Super helpful, thanks very much! I was at my plant with some scissors and decided to check in with TH-cam first. Glad I did!
Thanks for watching!
Great to have the comparison. I’d use the one long vine as the next plant to propagate from 😁👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
They can go like crazy really when left in the soil in a tropical place. 😍 love them no fuss growing around.
Loved it! Very informative and helpful. Thanks for sharing.
"I don't know what to do with this" my friend! Take more clippings :D you can fill out the base so it looks fuller the way you find more appealing!
Thanks for the tips!
I always had Pothos. Everyone of them😑 didn't like me. Now, I went out and bought 4. I am determined to grow them. Thanks for the video. Really helpful!
Espii J how’s it going with the pothos? :)
Super helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Followed you and I am looking forward to more when you post. 🔥🤘
Thank you so much for this super easy tutorial! I just did my 1st propagation of a pothos I have that was dying and I did the multiple clippings method! Wish me luck!
Wow! Awesome video! Thank you so much for putting in so much work, effort and time in to it. Love that I can see from start of cutting to the result.
Thanks for watching! Im glad you liked it!
Your videos are great! Super helpful and love that you show different ways! Great job!
Thanks so much!
Pothos is such a great plant in that it does its part! Pothos puts in an effort to grow, roots and all! :)
yeap, and if you grow it up a plank it can get 2ft long leaves that fenestrate!
Thanks for this! I actually just stuck a cutting in a stem first in a water jar and now it’s dying 😐 I wish I had read up on the nodes first but I’m gonna try to save her!
I think just about everyone makes that mistake! when i first got into plants i killed a crap ton. well even now im killing plants.... gotta learn somehow!
this is the exact video i was looking for! was visiting some family friends and they had a huge pothos that i got a clipping from. such a cool way to share among friends. thank you for taking the time to show what each method turned out like months later, thats really helpful!
Glad I could help!
This is so great. I was honestly just playing with this and found this video. Yay. Thank you.
Good Luck
Thaaaaaanks. Love the verbal and visual explanation.
Thanks this helped! Taking my pothos plant and trying to grow in my aquariums and this helped a lot as far as where to trim.
Glad it helped!
This was very informative. Thanks for breaking it down and making it easy.
Thanks for watching!
Great video and YES, I've done both methods and I really like the second method of cutting between the leaves!! To me they seem to root faster!! And I LOVE the different varieties of Pothos plants!!💖
Wow thank you so much for making these videos! You’ve helped so much and I love how you deliver the information!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for putting the crazy amount of time to make this video and show us the Pothos propagation. Truly appreciated it! Love and light your way 💕✨
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Roots grow easier if there are less leafs taking up nutrients, ur second method had indicidual leaves. Loveee ur videos, so informative!
interesting
The ONLY video that I understood out of a dozen! Thanks so much for being so clear! I have a “one vine” Pothos and could NOT find an answer as to why! Until this video! Thanks!
Glad the video could help!
This was great. I believe it’s a pothos I finally got from my Mom’s. I always loved how insanely long her plants were. I’m definitely going to try the multiple cut pot!
The best way to hold up the plants while propagating is to use an old Gatorade or Powerade bottle. The opening is large enough to get about 10 nodes through and hold the leaves out of the water. Easy to change water and it's as simple as cutting the bottle to get them out and place them in their permanent spots.
Good advice! I see some people start propagation in those skinny neck beakers and I always wonder how they will get em out once all the roots form lol
Just starting to do this with cutting from my mother in law. I want them to eventually sit on top of my 10 gallon aquarium on the hood with the roots into the tank. I think the roots would make the tank look really cool and not to mention it would help take out the nitrates in the water. Very cool plant. It would be cleaning my air and my tank water.
nice, ive rooted some directly in my fishtanks!
Thanks so much fir this video!! I can’t wait to try the multiple cutting method!! I also got a piece from my granny tonight and will be propagating it now!
I love both! Thankyou for the great demonstration lovely young man, and hope more young people would learn from you and be inspired by you to love and care for the nature!
I watched 4 videos before finally finding what I was looking for, which was water propagation to planting into soil, so thank you!!! 👍🏼😁 New sub here!
Thanks for watching and subbing!
Roots in fish tank is my fav way to do pothos :) Cheers!
What do you mean when u say roots in fish tank?
Propagating in a fish tank, at least I assume so. It sounds like a good idea. The fish, uuuhhmmmm, poop acts as fertilizer for the pothos cutting. If I had an aquarium I'd try it. 😊
can the leaves survive submerged in water?
@@justice5408 Keep the leaves above water. Just like in this video. Helps keep the water clean for the fish. The pothos gets free fertilizer and grows faster. Win-win
Can I add pumice in the water for propagation?
LOVE this video thank you!!! i just bought a pothos and did some cuttings and didnt know how long it would take for them to pop out some roots for me!
Im also super jealous of your long trailing one!! i WISH i could have one like that! hahaha
BUT its some luck ill grow a FEW soon!
thanks again! ; )
Great video! I have one long vine that’s been growing for 2 years. Today I propagated individual nodes so I’ll have a fuller plant. One thing I did a year ago with the plant that had the one long vine is planted some of the nodes back into the soil to fill out the plant more. I used hair pins to get the vine to stay in the soil.
Thank you for showing how the plant progressed.
no problem! I hate the videos that just tell you to do something but never show even a few days after the fact! anyways, thanks for watching!
Thank you. Your persistence is appreciated and the step by step together with you over time feature is just we a beginner like me needs.
no problem, good luck on your propagation!
@@TechplantChannel I am about to start. We live in the UK. Our first time doing propagation. So excited.... I know , I need to get out more hahah.
Thank you for explaining this I keep getting one strand plants!
👏👏👏 definitely helps put things into perspective thank you. I like both ways. ☺️
You're so cool. This is my first time cutting my pothos. I have 3 separate vines growing in one pot which kinda makes it a little fuller but I think I prefer this way the best. I'm giving the cuttings to a client of mine once they've got some good roots on 'em. Thanks! 👍
Awesome! Always neat to propagate and share with others! Good luck!
Today seems like the perfect day to take some cuttings. My string of hearts was over 3ft long & I finally took some cuttings for new plants. Now I'm going to tend to the pothos, which is a big bushy plant with lots of long pieces! Almost to the ground! I love days like this...so relaxing.
my string of hearts is just one vine thats about a foot long. I almost KILLED IT!!!!
So grateful for finding this video. I subscribed but then noticed the comments were years old. Anyway, l am going to do this propagation as l don't like the long empty parts where leaves die off.
This video was awesome!!! Thank you ! I’ve learned that I wasn’t cutting my Pothos the correct way for it to even start propagation & now that I have by watching your video I’m SO EXCITED to see it grow once I put the cuttings in soil 👍👍
This was super helpful, thank you! Can't wait to propagate my golden pothos
Goodluck and thanks for watching!
