Curious about growing your plant family? Let’s get our hands green and start this plant journey!
Today, I want to let you in on a little secret – the joy of Pothos propagation. If you've ever looked at your Pothos plant and thought, "Wow, I wish I had more of these beauties," then you're in luck, because I'm about to show you how to grow your own Pothos family tree.
Step 1: Selecting the Perfect Vine
It all starts with choosing the right vine. Look for a healthy section of your Pothos plant with a few leaves and a little bump along the stem called a node. This is where the magic happens – it's where your new roots will sprout. Once you've found the perfect candidate, grab your trusty scissors and snip off a section of the vine, making sure to include at least one node.
Step 2: The Snip and Dip
With your cutting in hand, it's time to get dipping. Take the cut end of the vine and dip it into a jar or glass of water, making sure the node is fully submerged. It's like giving your cutting a little sip of water to help it settle into its new home. And don't forget to change the water every few days to keep it fresh – your cutting will thank you for it.
Step 3: Watch Your Roots Grow
Now comes the fun part – watching your Pothos cutting come to life. Place the jar or glass in a warm, bright spot with indirect sunlight, and then sit back and let nature do its thing. Before long, you'll start to see tiny roots sprouting from the node, reaching out like eager little explorers.
Step 4: Planting Your New Pothos Baby
Once your cutting has developed a healthy root system (usually after a few weeks), it's time to plant it in soil and watch it grow into a full-fledged Pothos plant. The rule I always go by: Plant when the roots, have roots! (The plant has a much better chance of surviving when the plant has more developed roots)
Choose a small pot with drainage holes, fill it with well-draining potting mix, and gently plant your cutting, making sure the roots are covered and the node is just below the soil surface. Give your new Pothos baby a good drink of water, then place it in a warm, bright spot and watch as it settles into its new home.
And there you have it – your very own Pothos propagation adventure! With a little patience and a lot of love, you can grow your Pothos family tree and share the green magic with friends and family for generations to come. So what are you waiting for? Grab those scissors and get propagating!
