I like getting houseplant cuttings from Etsy. It's a way to support nice houseplant enthusiasts and it's usually an affordable way to try several varieties. I especially love the marble queen, neon pothos thrives in bright light, and N'Joy has interesting variegation.
Satin pothos!...received one from Etsy a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I killed it within a week. It arrived in good health but became a tossed salad in the mail, so I replanted it immediately. I think I should have held back watering because it developed root rot a few days later. So sad...it was such a beautiful plant with soft, fuzzy leaves! I managed to salvage some very small cuttings and I am attempting to root at least one in water. Not sure it will make it.
When I lost my daugther, got a whole bunch of plant arrangements. I knew nothing about plants then, so everything had died, except for this 1 leaf of pothos that my mom propagated in a little vase of water. I was so afraid to lose it and so I never touched it. That 1 leaf and a bunch of roots survived for 11 years, I finally planted it in a pot of soil recently. 3 leaves so far ☺️🥰
I'm sorry for the loss of your daughter I can't imagine such pain but what a neat blessing to have the one plant survive and it be from your Mom to bring you joy . How is your pothos doing now?
I've got a sprig ( two tiny leaves) that snapped off some plant. Refused to throw it so put it in a tiny jar with three tablespoons of water. After three weeks one tiny root appeared. Hopefully there will be another before Christmas.
I just realized today that the lobby of my corporate office has 2 towers with vines and vines of green queen pothos wrapped around them. I'm itching to snip off a vine or 2(or 3) at the end of the day when nobody's looking. The maintenance staff is just going to trim it anyway once its overgrown. Might as well help them out...🤔

I have a golden pothos that has been in my family for 70 years and has been propagated numerous times. I was finally given my own cutting but I have a black thumb and am so scared of killing it! So, thanks for this video!
@@jlevine8018 fantastic! They are alive and well, I even propagated some and planted it in another pot and it's doing great too. I just water them when I remember to and that's it.

“one of the easiest to care for” me with my dying pothos in the corner🥲 i have so many thriving plants and my pothos is supposed to be the easiest out of all of them but i’m killing it😫
I just got my first Pothos cuttings from my grandmothers 50 year old plant that has never been repotted and it has no soil but it thrives in neglect and is beautiful!
Annika Ewing YES! My Marble Queen has no soil left either but once a week on dusting day I take it into the kitchen and flood it with water. She just comes to life. And she looks great the rest of the week too. Incredible plants. I’m glad you have one from your grandma. My stepmother has a 40 year one.
i just bought a pothos today as my first houseplant! i think it’s a golden pothos, but im not totally sure as i’m new to plants. thanks for the video, my plant will appreciate it lol!
Oh I had missed that one!! I loooove all pothos plants, I have quite a few varieties and even more plants!! Useless info of the day: Pothos means lust/yearning Epipremnum means on (top of) a trunk Scindapsus was an ancient greek musical instrument with strings (similar to a lyra) 😊
@@epicgardening you're welcome!! Well, to be honest, except for the word 'pothos' which is still used, I had to look what the other words meant, because they did sound greek, but even I had no idea, because they are not commonly used ones 😸
I have a marble queen that I actually got a big box grocery store plant section. This grocery store obviously has a very dedicated and capable person running their plant section or a great supplier. The plants all seemed surprisingly happy. It was a great price and it’s climbing even in my lower light room.
HOW can your pothos be so BIG?? even before they start to trail? i thought they got bigger by age or only by giving them a pole or special special nursery poison only available in the buiz?? im desperatly trying to find someone who talks more about how to get them BIG (not just small leaf + stretchy all over the room) i want HUGE GIGANTIC ones like your green queen.
did you figure out where or how to get a potos huyge leaves? is it variety or just because of light and humidity? i know how to make pothos bushy. but my marble queen and varigated one have medium sized leaves.
When i was in kintergarden i was given this plant and i use to water it myself during its whole life and the plant grew to trail all around the kitchen ceiling! 30ish years later and I'm looking to give it another go 😀
About 25 years ago i had a small one of those, i was too young and had no clue how to take care of it yet it grew for almost 3 meters around my room. Sadly it started dying years after and I didn’t know what to do, Now i got a new young one again and glad i found this video to learn more this time.
I’m renting a tiny apartment while I’m in college and I really only have a spot to put one plant, and I’m really interested in pothos because it seems doable and they’re so pretty! Thanks for the guide!
I was wondering why all of my soil propagated pothos died in a matter of days! I thought I did something wrong and come to find out they prefer water propagation.🤦🏽♀️ I just ordered a 36 pack of glass test tubes. I’m about to be SO unhinged propagating making Frankenstein style pothos and no one can stop meeee!!!😈😈😈🪴🪴🪴
Nice healthy plants and a fun video. Thanks.I constantly trim back my pothos and put the cuttings in wine bottles, water bottles or anything that will hold water, keep them topped up and have pothos all over my apartment. Super easy and forgiving plant
I have always had several pothos throughout my house, the most recent house I moved into they have completely halted growth. Not dying, but not growing either. Plenty of light, no change in watering, it’s really weird.
I have a Pothos N’Joy and man it’s struggling. It’s been my most difficult plant so far which is crazy since like you said most people find Pothos to be easy! I went on vacation and didn’t water it for 2 weeks…watered when I got home and half the leaves turned yellow/brown and died. Cut those off - repotted because the soil seemed parched and now the soil is molding and and plant looks like death. Going to try to cut up the survivors and propagate and start fresh! Fingers crossed! It was so pretty when I got it.
I have Golden, Marble Queen, literally three leaves of a formerly lustrous Jade N Pearl, and I mistakenly have what I thought was a Silver Pothos. Come to find out it's a Silver Philodendron.
Everywhere I look they say it's the easiest plant ...well I'm struggling to keep alive a pothos. It's leaves go yellow, it doesn't trail, I changed the soil and no improvement. I have many plants and this one is the most problematic
It means you're giving it too much water. Also changing it's soil right after buying it is really bad. Pornos thrive when you let the soil dry completely between watering
@@sarahkanieski8293~ My experience/observation was noticing my luxuriant spider plants actually being decimated by close proximity to aggressively growing Pathos plant. I lost about five of my six pots of spider plants!
I've had these in both bright, indirect light, and in a dark room with one window located under an overhang of a deck. They are tough plants! ETA: I got a Pearls and Jade pothos and a Neon pothos at my local grocery store. They're very pretty.
I cant for the life of me seem to get my pothos to grow, they dont grow very fast and when they do grow its all one sided. I cant get the fuller look. :-(
I have a pothos that I brought for my fish tank. Lots of people out the roots in the tank and then let them trail. But not matter how I try the pothos just isn’t doing well. It’s lost all but 3 of its leaves and since I brought it and hasn’t grown in length at all. I’ve tried fertilising the tank, moving into more light, less light. Didn’t help. I’ve put it in soil, put it on my window ledge because I read that they like bright light, didn’t help. Moved it more into shade because some people said that direct light burns them, didn’t make any difference. I’m at my wits end and just don’t know what to do because everyone says these plant are so easy to grow and sooo hardy and so great and yet the one I’ve got is 2 leaves away from being dead!
My mom gave me hers before she passed. I've struggled with it til where I had to cut all the vines and propagate them. It seems to be responding better.
Hi Kevin, I have a few pothos. However, one of my pothos keep having yellow leaves. Every week I have about 5-6 leaves that turned yellow. I water it about once a week and never let it sit in water. I place it in a bright indirect sunlight spot. Can you tell me what’s wrong with my pothos?
When i was a student I inherited a basic gold pothos from neighbours that moved without notice. It trailed down beautifully from the top of my Ikea bookshelf and that meant the world to me. Then, my boyfriend and I moved to another place and he tossed my pothos in a garbage bag and dumped it without telling me, just because he couldn't figure how to pack it gently (and he never asked me!). In memory of my first pothos i went and bought another one recently, 10 years later. And needless to say that I dumped that loser of a boyfriend back then 😁
Hello! Two things: which soil would you recommend from a store like Lowe’s? And also, do pothos need to be moved to a bigger pot as they grow? Especially if we re-add clippings? Or can they stay in the same hanging basket and conform to its home?
Organic soil. You don't have to move to a bigger pot they thrive when root bound. You can take clippings and just pin it down in the dirt of the same pot or can propagate it in a new pot. Just take a clipping and put it in water. When you see roots growing you can put it in soil.
Cebu blue pothos is my favorite , I got it as a few cuttings and had no idea it existed but it is available to buy online though a bit on the rare side
Hello Kevin, fantastic information, did not know that about the pothos not flowering. My favorite is the Marble queen, mine is pretty big, But, this past summer I found a 4 inch pot of Manjula, wasn't sure what it was at first. I found it at walmart- marked as Pearls and Jade, which I also have a huge one and a small one. One I found 2 weeks ago at our nursery- it is a neon marble queen? , so pretty. Looks just like a marble queen but bright neon green, and variegated. Okay maybe I do not have a favorite, love them all! Happy growing!
I have the golden pothos but no one knows where it came from. Lol. My Mom does not remember and I just remember it being this one leaf plant. I now use it in my Betta fish bowl and it has about ten leaves. Also today my Mom got a package in the mail from my great grandmother and it had seven pothos plants! Two of them are the gorgeous marble queen which I have been wanting for so long. The rest I think are all golden pothos. I am not sure on two of them because It is just stems but they are alive. I put them in water with the smaller pothos from the bunch and now I just have to wait. They are so amazing and beautiful! I love them so much. I cannot wait to start propagating them and have my own pothos jungle in my bathroom and in my fish bowls. Hehehe. I have four fish bowls. I can't wait to have marble queens in them too. I'm excited!
@@GuacamoleyNacho I never did it. I had Betta fish. I just put the plant in and made sure it stayed at the top and not rooted in. They loved it. They looked happy and the plants looked happy too.
For such a basic plant that you can find basically anywhere, I'm obsessed with them. I really want one of every variety. So far I have a golden, marble queen, and a neon, cebu blue, and a satin (even tho it's not a pothos). Out of all of those I searched the longest for the neon and my favorite one is definitely my cebu blue. I found all of mine at Walmart except the neon, I got it at lowes. Now I really want an n'joy!! They're so cute.
My daughter got a green queen as a gift. Sat in her dark bedroom looking sad for a year. I bought a house and she gave it to me. I put it near a window with 8 hours of light and this plant is practically SINGING in front of this window! A very happy plant indeed!
I absolutely love pothos its my all time favorite house plant I have a couple goldens, I have a couple propagation stations going on right now lol I want more 😁🙃
I'm getting my first pothos tomorrow and I'm so excited! I was a little nervous prior to watching the video, but after learning a bit more about the plant, now I'm just excited!!!
Thanks so much for the advice! I just picked up a Pothos today at Walmart and I was worried about lighting. I have South and West facing windows but I placed my plant on top of my writing secretary along the south wall of my room. Hopefully, it will do fine.
I'm having mine on my office desk which isn't close to any window. However, I put it near a South facing window in weekends so it gets its needed sunlight dose.
my sister told me she wanted to buy new plants... so i’m getting her one of these for her birthday. i also got myself one because i wanna become a plant mom, which is why i’m here 🤣 ive only ever owned succulents and i cannot take care of those of my life depended on it so i thought i’d try something new for once. let’s hope this one doesn’t die :’)
Do Pothos do okay if you mix varieties in one pot? I just got a Silver Pothos and have 3 golden cuttings on the way and thought the combo might look interesting.
You're Great Kevin! Thanks for the tips and the knowledge! I love all of Pothos, it's hard to choose! I have the Golden Pothos & the Brazil, but I would love to Care for them All! Sincerely, Dolla Savin
My sister in law just gave me a golden pothos start today so I'm binging care videos lol it's my first ever pothos plant and I am super excited to grow it!
Hi! Thanks for this video. THese are my favorite plants. But, the vines get really tangled and long and I am not sure how to prune them. Are you still around to help? Thank you
My coworker had pruned her golden pothos and gave me some even though I didn't want any. I've barely done anything to the things besides put them in a glass and change out the water every week and they are putting down major roots and hella new leaves. I can't wait to pot them!
I watched the care section twice and you didn't say how often to water... you said that it was hardy and you didn't water it for three weeks once but this is the one thing I wanted to know... did I skip through and miss it?
Hey Kevin! Your videos have been super helpful in caring for my 20+ indoor plants :) With spring coming in hot, I've been doing a ton of research on the right fertilizers to use for each plant, and it seems like every website says something different. Thoughts on putting out a Fertilizing 101 video for indoor plants? I'm most curious about pothos, as well as hoya, spider, philodendron, and monstera deliciosa. Thanks for your help!
Hi! I have a question about care: My perfectly healthy pothos started having yellowing leaves all of a sudden. I haven't done anyhting different from what I'd been doing so far. I'm from Argentina and it is mid winter here right now, but I keep them indoors. I moved houses 3 months ago and they adapted well initially. Could this be related to that? They are in a well-lit room and I water them only when I see the leaves "fainting" a little. Thanks! I found your video very interesting!
This was long ago but here is my experience; Tbh, I keep my pothos in a vase of water and she’s VERY big. I’ve moved multiple times.. my pothos has thrived in the water, her roots are long, white and healthy. I am actually scared to plant her in soil so .. maybe you can try having her living in water until she has stronger roots? It’s also pretty to see the development
Pothos will get yellow leaves once in a while and that is normal, just give it a trim and pull off any dead leaves. But if it’s happening too often then I do suggest putting it in water to grow strong or to see if you prefer it that way (:
Please help! My pothos plant seems getting weak. Stems used to be stronger and leaves thicker. Now stems are limping, leaves feels thinner. I gave all purpose fertilizer before this happened. Is this the reason? (By the way fertilizer is 10-10-10). Some leaves are yellow. I've read that is sign of overwatering. So I am taking easy on giving water. Now I dont know what to do.....
I work overnights, so no sun in my room. However, I got this bad Larry (green queen maybe? 🤔) growing under a grow lamp on a 7hr timer. When I'm at work it's shining away. I'm curious to see how this works out. My hope is to have lots of danglerz. This video helped tons cuz I have succulents because of ease of care as well 😁 Good to know feeding is easy too!
Interesting.... Pothos do best in low to medium light....did this person just recommend a lot of light? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Must be a more versatile plant than I realized !
Hi Kevin! I tried propagating with individual leaf cuttings like you've shown, but I lost every one of them. I have been successful putting longer stems in water. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I love all pothos. I got a golden and a green and white one, but no name at Fred Meyers. Thank you for sharing!
@Epic Gardening I just got a small Golden pothos in the mail. It arrived with pretty wet soil and most of the leaves turning black. It's my very first pothos and I'm worried it's gonna die. I was thinking maybe I could take a good piece and propagate it but I don't see a single node on any of the vines/branches. Some of the plant still looks kinda healthy. Do you think maybe I should repot it so I can check how the roots are? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I have a classic pothos. It was a house warming gift. I'm still unsure as to how much I should water her... a few of her leaves are turning yellow. &the tips are brown? Does that mean I'm under watering or over watering ? Also, when should you switch to a bigger pot? Only when the leaves start to fall over the pot? Mines is still growing up. She hasn't started "flowing" but it is a big plant. If that makes sense. Lol thank you for the info!! I'm new in the plant life!
🆘 I have a golden pothos that was root-bound, so I repotted it and it began to die. 😭 There's only one leaf left and it's been that way since November (so over 6 months!) No new growth at all, but that one leaf looks very healthy. I don't understand! I also checked and some healthy white roots are coming out of the bottom of the pot. I don't know if I should just leave it be or try to replant it again. 😭 Help, please!
This was a great video!!! Subscribing now! My grandma is an Ohio/Florida snowbird that likes to collect native vines and air plants in the winter. I’ve always admired a beautiful two-toned yellow and white pothos plant that she had scavenged and potted. She would just leave it outside her trailer when she would come back to Ohio in the spring and it was still kicking when she got back in October. Last summer she brought it back to put by the pool for the summer. It turned completely yellow and started looking unhappy. She told me to take it home to see if I could rehab it. I stuck it on a balcony ledge in my house where it gets no direct light and most of the plant has turned a beautiful dark jade green . I have a vine that’s 13 feet long! It’s my favorite of all my plants and I propagated plants for my kids to take with them someday. Hopefully we’ll all always have a part of my grandmas Florida jungle scavenge! 😜♥️
Not to say that you're not caring for your houseplants properly because they look great, but an important thing to know about variegated plants, especially pothos (I have a marble queen myself and have witnessed this happening), is that they do need a lot of sunlight to maintain the variegation. Since they need the chlorophyll to photosynthesize, if they aren't getting enough sunlight, the new leaves they produce will be more green (less variegation). My marble queen lived in part shade for over a year and grew leaves with hardly any variegation, and since I moved into a house with a south-facing window (where she now lives), she's grown beautifully variegated leaves.
I need your help. I've had great success growing pothos plants under your tutiledge. My plants are 5 years old and at your suggestion, I now have 15 ft vines that I trail along the ceilings and walls. The issue I am experiencing, some of the vines have lost their leaves in foot to 2 feet sections. The leaf lost is occurring closer to the base of the vines. Otherwise, the plants are very healthy and grow vigorously. I'm experimenting now, spraying the bare vine sections w/ a very weak solution of Miracle Gro. I've had only 3 leaves throughout the whole plant that have grown on these bare sections w/ the treatment. I saturate the bare sections, twice a day. Any other suggestions of what I might do to generate leaf growth?
Yo, where did you get the plant holder where the SATIN POTHOS is in at 3:22?? (the one in your bedroom) Trying to find one like that but cant find it any where.
Where did you get the hanger for the third pothos you showed? Also, does it screw into the wall? I currently live in an apartment and am trying to find hangers for my pots that don’t require any screws... any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)
What's your favorite pothos variety and where did you get it?

Part of these is the way they're propagated. There are a TON of individually propagated leaves in these pots to make it super bushy
Green queen also has bigger leaf than the golden potho, and much bigger than the marble, and the satin.

I’m renting a tiny apartment while I’m in college and I really only have a spot to put one plant, and I’m really interested in pothos because it seems doable and they’re so pretty! Thanks for the guide!
Pothos is a great "only have space for 1 plant" plant
I just bought one today and I named it Sherman 😆! Lol
LOL nice
I was wondering why all of my soil propagated pothos died in a matter of days! I thought I did something wrong and come to find out they prefer water propagation.🤦🏽♀️ I just ordered a 36 pack of glass test tubes.
I’m about to be SO unhinged propagating making Frankenstein style pothos and no one can stop meeee!!!😈😈😈🪴🪴🪴
"it's not a crime, it happens all the time!" 🤣
Nice healthy plants and a fun video. Thanks.I constantly trim back my pothos and put the cuttings in wine bottles, water bottles or anything that will hold water, keep them topped up and have pothos all over my apartment. Super easy and forgiving plant
Love that, I'm going to have quite the jungle myself over here!
I just got a marble queen pothos. It's absolutely GORGEOUS! The variegation is what attracted me to it. 🤩
I have always had several pothos throughout my house, the most recent house I moved into they have completely halted growth. Not dying, but not growing either. Plenty of light, no change in watering, it’s really weird.
I found a sliver pothos at Fry's grocery store in AZ and at Walmart. I'm growing a cutting in my fish tank. Its growing great.
My pothos has grown well past the stake and I don’t know if I need to trim it or let it grow wild
I have a Pothos N’Joy and man it’s struggling. It’s been my most difficult plant so far which is crazy since like you said most people find Pothos to be easy! I went on vacation and didn’t water it for 2 weeks…watered when I got home and half the leaves turned yellow/brown and died. Cut those off - repotted because the soil seemed parched and now the soil is molding and and plant looks like death. Going to try to cut up the survivors and propagate and start fresh! Fingers crossed! It was so pretty when I got it.
The basic “B” pothos was my first house plant!
Also, this is a good lookin plant man 😎
You're too kind!
I have Golden, Marble Queen, literally three leaves of a formerly lustrous Jade N Pearl, and I mistakenly have what I thought was a Silver Pothos. Come to find out it's a Silver Philodendron.
They're commonly confused!
Everywhere I look they say it's the easiest plant ...well I'm struggling to keep alive a pothos. It's leaves go yellow, it doesn't trail, I changed the soil and no improvement. I have many plants and this one is the most problematic
It means you're giving it too much water. Also changing it's soil right after buying it is really bad. Pornos thrive when you let the soil dry completely between watering
elena m pornos. lmaoooo I’m dying
Interesting side note: Spider plants are NOT companion plants with Pothos.
Great tip there Marie!
Will they not survive together? Good to know because I've been considering mixing a few of my plants
@@sarahkanieski8293~ My experience/observation was noticing my luxuriant spider plants actually being decimated by close proximity to aggressively growing Pathos plant. I lost about five of my six pots of spider plants!
My mom got a Pothos plant when she gave birth to my brother 49 years ago and it's still alive.
I've had these in both bright, indirect light, and in a dark room with one window located under an overhang of a deck. They are tough plants! ETA: I got a Pearls and Jade pothos and a Neon pothos at my local grocery store. They're very pretty.
Yeah they can take just about anything!
how are the pearls? i heard they need lots of care
where did you get your "propagation station"?
Amazon
I cant for the life of me seem to get my pothos to grow, they dont grow very fast and when they do grow its all one sided. I cant get the fuller look. :-(
Don't stress about the fuller look, that's almost always from planting many cuttings in one pot
I love pothos!! All varieties, but my favorite is the marble queen.
Gorgeous isn't it
you should get a Peace lily and do a video on it!
Will do!
I have a pothos that I brought for my fish tank. Lots of people out the roots in the tank and then let them trail. But not matter how I try the pothos just isn’t doing well. It’s lost all but 3 of its leaves and since I brought it and hasn’t grown in length at all. I’ve tried fertilising the tank, moving into more light, less light. Didn’t help. I’ve put it in soil, put it on my window ledge because I read that they like bright light, didn’t help. Moved it more into shade because some people said that direct light burns them, didn’t make any difference. I’m at my wits end and just don’t know what to do because everyone says these plant are so easy to grow and sooo hardy and so great and yet the one I’ve got is 2 leaves away from being dead!
My mom gave me hers before she passed. I've struggled with it til where I had to cut all the vines and propagate them. It seems to be responding better.
i just got silver pothos and its so hot
Just got a pothos plant today & I learned a bunch from this video thank you 🙏🏽
Surprisingly, I kill pothos more than more rare and “boutique” plants. 😩
I just bought a Marble Queen, its so beautiful ! Hope I can keep it alive. Thank you for your tips !
Good luck!
Hi Kevin, I have a few pothos. However, one of my pothos keep having yellow leaves. Every week I have about 5-6 leaves that turned yellow. I water it about once a week and never let it sit in water. I place it in a bright indirect sunlight spot. Can you tell me what’s wrong with my pothos?
My favorite is the Satin pothos and I just got one today called “pothos N’Joy”
That's a fantastic variety!
When i was a student I inherited a basic gold pothos from neighbours that moved without notice. It trailed down beautifully from the top of my Ikea bookshelf and that meant the world to me. Then, my boyfriend and I moved to another place and he tossed my pothos in a garbage bag and dumped it without telling me, just because he couldn't figure how to pack it gently (and he never asked me!). In memory of my first pothos i went and bought another one recently, 10 years later. And needless to say that I dumped that loser of a boyfriend back then 😁
Beautiful plants you got there. Your potho's leaves are so huge. Love it!!
Hello! Two things: which soil would you recommend from a store like Lowe’s? And also, do pothos need to be moved to a bigger pot as they grow? Especially if we re-add clippings? Or can they stay in the same hanging basket and conform to its home?
Organic soil. You don't have to move to a bigger pot they thrive when root bound. You can take clippings and just pin it down in the dirt of the same pot or can propagate it in a new pot. Just take a clipping and put it in water. When you see roots growing you can put it in soil.
My favorite pothos plant is the marble queen 🤗 I bought in a little flower shop in Edmonton.
Fantastic variety!
Coworker just gifted me one thanks 5 years later!
I love green queen.. I have never seen that. I have only seen the variegated variety which bores me.
Yeah, it's one of the funny plants where the non variegated variety is more Uncommon!
Thats why i hunted done a jade pothos, so simple and solid dark green.
Down*
One of my Marble Queen tendrils reverted back to solid green, so I kinda got a Green Queen, except is grows as slow as the Marble Queen.
Where's the update video of this Frankenstein pot of Photos??? I need to see it!
Blue pothos i live in Newfoundland i got my from a friend and i love it
Cebu blue pothos is my favorite , I got it as a few cuttings and had no idea it existed but it is available to buy online though a bit on the rare side
I really want to get my hands on that one!
Ana Dorsett oh my gosh i need to add one of these to my plant collection 😍
www.joshsfrogs.com/epipremnum-pinnatum-cebu-blue.html they're available here!!!
I need one.
Lowe's has Cebu blue... that's where I found mine
Hello Kevin, fantastic information, did not know that about the pothos not flowering. My favorite is the Marble queen, mine is pretty big, But, this past summer I found a 4 inch pot of Manjula, wasn't sure what it was at first. I found it at walmart- marked as Pearls and Jade, which I also have a huge one and a small one. One I found 2 weeks ago at our nursery- it is a neon marble queen? , so pretty. Looks just like a marble queen but bright neon green, and variegated. Okay maybe I do not have a favorite, love them all! Happy growing!
No need to pick a favorite when they're all so awesome! Happy growing.
@@epicgardening Indeed! Happy growing!
Hey! I know you 😊
How's your studying going? I was watching your Chanel earlier
I have the golden pothos but no one knows where it came from. Lol. My Mom does not remember and I just remember it being this one leaf plant. I now use it in my Betta fish bowl and it has about ten leaves. Also today my Mom got a package in the mail from my great grandmother and it had seven pothos plants! Two of them are the gorgeous marble queen which I have been wanting for so long. The rest I think are all golden pothos. I am not sure on two of them because It is just stems but they are alive. I put them in water with the smaller pothos from the bunch and now I just have to wait. They are so amazing and beautiful! I love them so much. I cannot wait to start propagating them and have my own pothos jungle in my bathroom and in my fish bowls. Hehehe. I have four fish bowls. I can't wait to have marble queens in them too. I'm excited!
@@GuacamoleyNacho I never did it. I had Betta fish. I just put the plant in and made sure it stayed at the top and not rooted in. They loved it. They looked happy and the plants looked happy too.
For such a basic plant that you can find basically anywhere, I'm obsessed with them. I really want one of every variety. So far I have a golden, marble queen, and a neon, cebu blue, and a satin (even tho it's not a pothos). Out of all of those I searched the longest for the neon and my favorite one is definitely my cebu blue. I found all of mine at Walmart except the neon, I got it at lowes. Now I really want an n'joy!! They're so cute.
Ahhh you have a Cebu Blue I'M JELLY
My daughter got a green queen as a gift. Sat in her dark bedroom looking sad for a year. I bought a house and she gave it to me. I put it near a window with 8 hours of light and this plant is practically SINGING in front of this window! A very happy plant indeed!
I absolutely love pothos its my all time favorite house plant I have a couple goldens, I have a couple propagation stations going on right now lol I want more 😁🙃
Neon pothos are my favorite, especially during winter! Really bright and vibrant. I found mine at my local hardware store
Love neon...one of the only ones I don't have
I'm getting my first pothos tomorrow and I'm so excited! I was a little nervous prior to watching the video, but after learning a bit more about the plant, now I'm just excited!!!
Thanks so much for the advice! I just picked up a Pothos today at Walmart and I was worried about lighting. I have South and West facing windows but I placed my plant on top of my writing secretary along the south wall of my room. Hopefully, it will do fine.
It'll do just fine, they're very tolerant
I'm having mine on my office desk which isn't close to any window. However, I put it near a South facing window in weekends so it gets its needed sunlight dose.
my sister told me she wanted to buy new plants... so i’m getting her one of these for her birthday. i also got myself one because i wanna become a plant mom, which is why i’m here 🤣 ive only ever owned succulents and i cannot take care of those of my life depended on it so i thought i’d try something new for once. let’s hope this one doesn’t die :’)
Do Pothos do okay if you mix varieties in one pot? I just got a Silver Pothos and have 3 golden cuttings on the way and thought the combo might look interesting.
Totally fine to mix!
You're Great Kevin! Thanks for the tips and the knowledge! I love all of Pothos, it's hard to choose! I have the Golden Pothos & the Brazil, but I would love to Care for them All! Sincerely, Dolla Savin
My sister in law just gave me a golden pothos start today so I'm binging care videos lol it's my first ever pothos plant and I am super excited to grow it!
Thank you for sharing this very Educational video i love the pothos
You need a neon pothos in your life!!
Excellent video! Thanks so much for helping fuel my pothos addiction 😍
Yeah!
Hi! Thanks for this video. THese are my favorite plants. But, the vines get really tangled and long and I am not sure how to prune them. Are you still around to help? Thank you
Every 2 weeks I use the dirty water from my fish tank as a fertilizer, works amazingly well.
Can we grow pothos from seeds, is their any seeds available or just they can be propagated by cuttings only ? Can you please reply ? Thank you
Pretty sure you can, but I've never grown from seed...good experiment for next year!
Many varieties of pathos grow in profusion on my house wall.,my fence,on the ground..I now have to show it some respect and don’t take it for granted.
My coworker had pruned her golden pothos and gave me some even though I didn't want any. I've barely done anything to the things besides put them in a glass and change out the water every week and they are putting down major roots and hella new leaves. I can't wait to pot them!
I watched the care section twice and you didn't say how often to water... you said that it was hardy and you didn't water it for three weeks once but this is the one thing I wanted to know... did I skip through and miss it?
I just picked up a gorgeous marble queen pothos from Trader Joe's! My first one and I'm loving it
Nice! Trader Joe's for the win, baby!
Hey Kevin! Your videos have been super helpful in caring for my 20+ indoor plants :) With spring coming in hot, I've been doing a ton of research on the right fertilizers to use for each plant, and it seems like every website says something different. Thoughts on putting out a Fertilizing 101 video for indoor plants? I'm most curious about pothos, as well as hoya, spider, philodendron, and monstera deliciosa. Thanks for your help!
Hi! I have a question about care: My perfectly healthy pothos started having yellowing leaves all of a sudden. I haven't done anyhting different from what I'd been doing so far. I'm from Argentina and it is mid winter here right now, but I keep them indoors. I moved houses 3 months ago and they adapted well initially. Could this be related to that? They are in a well-lit room and I water them only when I see the leaves "fainting" a little. Thanks! I found your video very interesting!
This was long ago but here is my experience; Tbh, I keep my pothos in a vase of water and she’s VERY big. I’ve moved multiple times.. my pothos has thrived in the water, her roots are long, white and healthy. I am actually scared to plant her in soil so .. maybe you can try having her living in water until she has stronger roots? It’s also pretty to see the development
Pothos will get yellow leaves once in a while and that is normal, just give it a trim and pull off any dead leaves. But if it’s happening too often then I do suggest putting it in water to grow strong or to see if you prefer it that way (:
@@sammiek4462 Thanks! I trimmed them, and that was it! They are thriving again! I think this might even be my faourite indoor plant!

Please provide me with the real name for the (marble queen) and what nursery or plant company that you purchased yours from?
I got mine from a local nursery, and the latin name is the same as normal pothos as far as i know. Also known as scindapsus aureus
Please help! My pothos plant seems getting weak. Stems used to be stronger and leaves thicker. Now stems are limping, leaves feels thinner. I gave all purpose fertilizer before this happened. Is this the reason? (By the way fertilizer is 10-10-10). Some leaves are yellow. I've read that is sign of overwatering. So I am taking easy on giving water. Now I dont know what to do.....
Thank you for these tips. The specific way you covered everything was extremely helpful. Great detail and advice. Much appreciated
I believe its prononced as poe- thows... long “o” sound. And raphi-dough-for-us
I work overnights, so no sun in my room. However, I got this bad Larry (green queen maybe? 🤔) growing under a grow lamp on a 7hr timer. When I'm at work it's shining away. I'm curious to see how this works out. My hope is to have lots of danglerz. This video helped tons cuz I have succulents because of ease of care as well 😁 Good to know feeding is easy too!
My pothos colection consists of:
Satin
N'joy
Neon
Marble Quinn
Golden
I love them, they are just beautiful 😍, got them all from eBay for a nice price.
Interesting.... Pothos do best in low to medium light....did this person just recommend a lot of light? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Must be a more versatile plant than I realized !
Hi Kevin! I tried propagating with individual leaf cuttings like you've shown, but I lost every one of them. I have been successful putting longer stems in water. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I love all pothos. I got a golden and a green and white one, but no name at Fred Meyers. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you had some success!
@Epic Gardening I just got a small Golden pothos in the mail. It arrived with pretty wet soil and most of the leaves turning black. It's my very first pothos and I'm worried it's gonna die. I was thinking maybe I could take a good piece and propagate it but I don't see a single node on any of the vines/branches. Some of the plant still looks kinda healthy. Do you think maybe I should repot it so I can check how the roots are? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hi I have a classic pothos. It was a house warming gift. I'm still unsure as to how much I should water her... a few of her leaves are turning yellow. &the tips are brown? Does that mean I'm under watering or over watering ? Also, when should you switch to a bigger pot? Only when the leaves start to fall over the pot? Mines is still growing up. She hasn't started "flowing" but it is a big plant. If that makes sense. Lol thank you for the info!! I'm new in the plant life!
🆘 I have a golden pothos that was root-bound, so I repotted it and it began to die. 😭 There's only one leaf left and it's been that way since November (so over 6 months!) No new growth at all, but that one leaf looks very healthy. I don't understand! I also checked and some healthy white roots are coming out of the bottom of the pot. I don't know if I should just leave it be or try to replant it again. 😭 Help, please!
This was a great video!!! Subscribing now! My grandma is an Ohio/Florida snowbird that likes to collect native vines and air plants in the winter. I’ve always admired a beautiful two-toned yellow and white pothos plant that she had scavenged and potted. She would just leave it outside her trailer when she would come back to Ohio in the spring and it was still kicking when she got back in October. Last summer she brought it back to put by the pool for the summer. It turned completely yellow and started looking unhappy. She told me to take it home to see if I could rehab it. I stuck it on a balcony ledge in my house where it gets no direct light and most of the plant has turned a beautiful dark jade green . I have a vine that’s 13 feet long! It’s my favorite of all my plants and I propagated plants for my kids to take with them someday. Hopefully we’ll all always have a part of my grandmas Florida jungle scavenge! 😜♥️
yvonne stefanski I wonder if all the chlorine and muratic acid from the pool were what was hurting it. I’m glad you “fixed” it. 👍🏻
Not to say that you're not caring for your houseplants properly because they look great, but an important thing to know about variegated plants, especially pothos (I have a marble queen myself and have witnessed this happening), is that they do need a lot of sunlight to maintain the variegation. Since they need the chlorophyll to photosynthesize, if they aren't getting enough sunlight, the new leaves they produce will be more green (less variegation).
My marble queen lived in part shade for over a year and grew leaves with hardly any variegation, and since I moved into a house with a south-facing window (where she now lives), she's grown beautifully variegated leaves.
I need your help.
I've had great success growing pothos plants under your tutiledge.
My plants are 5 years old and at your suggestion, I now have 15 ft vines that I trail along the ceilings and walls.
The issue I am experiencing, some of the vines have lost their leaves in foot to 2 feet sections. The leaf lost is occurring closer to the base of the vines. Otherwise, the plants are very healthy and grow vigorously.
I'm experimenting now, spraying the bare vine sections w/ a very weak solution of Miracle Gro. I've had only 3 leaves throughout the whole plant that have grown on these bare sections w/ the treatment. I saturate the bare sections, twice a day.
Any other suggestions of what I might do to generate leaf growth?
Yo, where did you get the plant holder where the SATIN POTHOS is in at 3:22?? (the one in your bedroom) Trying to find one like that but cant find it any where.
Check out greenBeauty 💚🌱💚on Etsy they have Huge Hawaiian pothos 💚💚🌱🌱💚👍👍
Where did you get the hanger for the third pothos you showed? Also, does it screw into the wall? I currently live in an apartment and am trying to find hangers for my pots that don’t require any screws... any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)
