How To Repot Pothos To Climb Up or Trail Down | Houseplant Care Guide

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Who’s going to repot their Pothos this Spring? Are you going to have them trail down or climb up?

[@8pmSilhouette]

Crazy Plant Guy I might repot my golden pothos. I’ve noticed it’s needing water much more often. The roots aren’t coming out of the bottom yet though. Such a great video! Thank you! 💚

[@The_Black_Truth]

FIRST And FOREMOST I Want To See MINE TRAILING Whether In Hanging Pots Or From Shelves.

[@GabsPiras]

Going to let mine trail😍💚

[@dionnejones4125]

Both for me...trail and climb. I'm so excited... spring is almost here. Their roots are probably screaming right about now....😂

[@remiska8655]

I was gonna trail but you make me want to climb! 🤔

[@aduheartlol]

Bless this man for including time stamps for each topic. He's a fountain of information but I only need a drop rn.

[@MickeyAnne97]

I noticed my golden stopped growing after months of continuous growth. He went from growing about a foot a month even through the winter to declining. I pulled him out of the pot and he was wrapped around the terra cotta pot I had him in. I repotted him and he is doing much better and even putting out new growth 🥰

[@rainbales9640]

I've never really felt the need to comment on any KZbin video as I'm really just here to watch. However, your channel has been so educational, calming, and fun to watch and I just thought you should know! Thank you for sharing all your plant knowledge!

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Aww 😊. Thank you so much. Really appreciate you taking the time and happy your learning and enjoying the channel 😃🌿💚

[@brandinichole1119]

When you decided to plant the viney piece instead of cutting it I was mind blown lol definitely taught me something new 🙌🏻

[@anthonylewis62]

Suzanne here, i collect water jars and unusual ones, all shapes, clear glass of course i have many many pothos, but over a span of 40 plus years of growing this plant, i find they do much better simply growing in plain water, i have some in soil, but they simply do not do as well as the ones do in water. and YEs they can last a life time in plain water, and grow much better, than in soil, i have many hanging in soil, but i take cuttings often and am always making more and more, i love watching the roots grow, there is one rule with this kinda growing them, change the water 2 times a week and keep it clean, remove any dead items, and enjoy water growing

[@niceapples00]

I actually just started this a few weeks ago,my pathos are soooo long didn't know wht to do, so I nervously cut a piece of the vine & put it in a small bowl,& it's rooting now,looks so cool!

[@juliuh_8574]

Do they grow thicker?

[@sallyedmondson9275]

Love how you call your plants ‘guys’ ! Sweet ! X

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Haha...😆. These little ‘Guys’ need a bit more representation in the Plant community. 🌿

[@joyceharris3524]

I can listen to you for hours and appreciate how detailed you are.

[@MichelleTerry95]

Whenever repotting I start strong, then start to think to myself "what have I gotten myself into" after it's all out on the table. It's always the most stressful part. My worst time was with my string of pearls.. it was only in a 2 inch container, and the roots weren't the reason for repotting but the pearls on top were all on top of each other with no sign of growth (like they had been propegated a tonne, but I was a noob at the time). I just started taking them out and they came out in one piece, but after the soil fell off I noticed it was a million separate 'strings' with hardly any roots. I did move them to a bigger container so all the 'strings' were in soil (most stressful and difficult repotting ever) and they almost died from shock but they have started vining again after their recovery and it warms my heart. I don't think I'll ever repot it again 😅

[@masofiaalberto]

Watching this because I’m about to purchase pothos and I’m so excited! 🇵🇭

[@RizzyTips]

Did you have to repot straight away after buying?

[@masofiaalberto]

@@RizzyTips It depends on the soil that has been used by the seller po ☺️ But pothos are very low maintenance. I forgot that I commented here 10 mos ago, my pothos now has so many propagations, i have pothos that are trailing down and climbing up 😁😁

[@RizzyTips]

@@masofiaalberto I decided to repot it as Im not sure of the soil used, bought it from a garden centre kasi. Thanksss

[@masofiaalberto]

@@RizzyTips Happy planting po 🤗💚🌱

[@mamabear9509]

Indoor plant novice here. This is a great video. I've always wanted to own a pothos that climbed up but, I didn't know how to make it happen without it looking too amateur-ish. Thank you for showing the proper technique.

[@annikaewing960]

I just got my second and third Pothos today! I got a neon and a second golden Pothos. (which I put with my first golden Pothos since it was a single cutting) I didn’t realize how beautiful the neon Pothos’ were until I saw my new one! Also I’m going to have my golden trail down and my neon climb up!

[@RizzyTips]

Did you have to repot straight away after buying?

[@sandrahickey3593]

All your plants are beautiful and full. I've just bought 2 neon pothos, they're already trailing. I can't wait to propagate them when they grow more. Free plants. Love your tuturials.

[@rdred8693]

I LOVE your string of hearts. One of my favorite plant people on here.

[@MariaCastro-ih8md]

My eyes 👀 go straight to that string of hearts 💕 every time l watch your lessons 😍🥰

[@mattikarosenthal3298]

They sell them at every nursery in Southern California, I love them, haven’t had one in a while, and they are so easy to propagate as well. So just buy one plant, and within a year you’ll have several to give away as gifts or keep growing.

[@mattikarosenthal3298]

I like to use plastic containers inside of really nice terra-cotta. It is much easier to check on them and see how they are doing.

[@sickofgreyhats]

Great video. Found you by accident. Don't cut that long bare leg, circle it in the pot and the nodes will make roots making the plant strong, but you know that. 👏 Thank you for the video.

[@lindapearson3340]

Awesome video I just bought a Marble Queen Pothos so now I know when it gets bigger that I can drape it up a moss pole. My new Pothos is a hanging one right now. I was so excited to finally find one.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Yay. Congrats on the Marble Queen. Such a beauty to either hang and trail or climb up.

[@katieroberts8633]

An aerial/birds eye view would make this video

[@MrBiskit66]

I learned from JoyUsGarden that when repotting vining plants you can put it in a pillow case and that’ll make it easier to hold and keep out the way when trying to rearrange and put in soil.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

You’ll Never Know I love JoyUsGaeden, She gives great tips and that’s a good one with the pillow case. 😊 Thanks for the reminder.

[@MrBiskit66]

Crazy Plant Guy no problem. Anything for the love of plants.

[@gapeachnow26]

I just repotted my large pothos and saw that pillowcase trick. I didn't have a spare one, so I used a trash bag instead. 😂

[@gglydie4242]

Great tip, also about the garbage bag below! I have to repot an established pothos with loooooong vines, today! which is why I'm here, so I really appreciate this tip.

[@eg-if7pt]

I got one today a Golden Pothos and I don’t know anything about plants ㅜ_ㅜ thank you for teaching me so much this is the 2nd video I have watched

[@niceapples00]

Great video! I'm glad u showed the moss pole,I tried it but the poke wouldn't stay still but maybe I put it in wrong, just stuck the pole in the pot & hoped for the best!😅 but the vines are reaaaaally long they're trailing the floor now & I notice the vines that are on the floor are significantly thicker,it's 2 of them took a turn & are starting to trail around my bed, my apt is turning into the old school movie Little Shop Of Horrors!

I'm growing three house plants currently 2 cacti and a golden pothos i had 1 cactus then a friend of mine reached out on Facebook she had a 2 plants that were dying and needed a green thumb tons of the Ivy's leaves browned and fell off the long branches were like paper thin feeling half the leaves were yellow or dead the other drooping down to the ground,I cleaned the pot up nice anything wilted or bad I pulled off watered it nice and it took no time to recover it seems 😊

[@joybethlyons2383]

Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for plants with us! I love learning with you!

[@jerzeyzgirl]

Hi. I just discovered your channel. I learned so much from this video. I currently have a golden pothos in a 6" drainage pot. I love how beautiful its growing. It's trailing beautifully on top of my book shelf.

[@dionnejones4125]

Thoroughly njoyd. I was just looking at my pothos yesterday, thinking about poling them upward and upgrading a couple pots to bigger sizes. Thanks for that confirmation that its time....

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Dionne Jones awesome Dionne. Glad you liked the video. I do love the climbing up. I might actually do the same for my Jade Satin Scindapsus

[@gardeninginthedesert]

I have three trailing but I'm also growing three that I plan to have climb up poles in a tipi shape. I live in West Africa and have only seen golden pothos but I love them so much 😍

[@tayr3836]

This made me feel so much better because I repotted my golden pothos that I’m not sure if it was in a 6in or 8in nursery pot (I purchased as 8”) and so I bought a 10in pot and got freaked out at how big it was. I also added a moss pole. Now I’m not scared it will die lol

[@Raiseawareness.247]

What’s a mosspole?

[@agile828mn]

Excessively large pots invite root rot. Always pot up one size pot only. Planting multiple plants into the same pot can cause die-off, as one plant can choke the other. Moss poles require off-center planting which also invites root rot. This creates large areas of soil which roots do not occupy, and therefor will not dry the soil.

[@tayr3836]

@@agile828mn it’s been thriving all these months later! It didn’t seem to be several plants potted up. Just a huge full golden pothos that had probably been outside

[@agile828mn]

@@tayr3836 This will certainly work more often than not, but is typically a technique you wouldnt give out as advice to beginning growers. There is a high enough chance of failure that it isnt wise to tout as a "life hack" for stylizing a pothos. When a nursery uses similar techniques, they can account for their failure rate by planting high volume. If a person has one plant, this technique may leave the person unhappy with your advice and having to buy a new plant. Cheers

[@itsmeeandrea]

i legit just attached a moss pole to my moms pothos yesterday lol. it is an underrated plant 😂 but i saw the potential in it yesterday lol

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Love this video. Watched it again a yr later and so happy I did because my pothos has been thriving this past yr lol. Thanks so much Christian I'm so happy you opened your own shop too! You deserve so many great things to come your way❤ Keep the videos coming, you do such a great job with your channel and grow so many beautiful trailers. I definitely need to get my hands on a few more soon! I ended up getting a hernia and it laid me up for a while, but I'm starting to heal up and get back into things 🍃 The pearl and jade pothis is gorgeous, my gosh.. definitely on my list along with a few others I don't have yet. They're my favorites and fit into any collection or design.

Pothos or Devils Ivy are great as hydroponic plants, grow in a vase of water, they love it

uh we need dat video of how to maintain the size of your plant ASAP!!! you said that real smooth at the end like we weren't gonna be like, yes please tell us how to dat!!! I am having second thoughts about buying more real plants because they need to stay the same size due to my space in my place. They also double as decor so changing size I won't have anywhere to put them and I will have replace them in the space they've grown out of. We need this video! if you have it already could you link it here please? I've searched your channel and couldn't find one.

Took mine out of Terra Cotta and put in a plastic pot. My cat chewed of trailers. I now have 3 more plants after propagating them in water. There is a person who has one in the same pot for 8 years. It is trailing around his house. It for me has always been the easiest to grow. The 8 inch pot is where mine will live out it's Life. It was a small plant when I got it 2 years ago. I water it with rain water only. Trails across and down.

[@aimreadings]

How can I place the moss pole without repotting? Can I just stick it in the pot?Great video! 👍 Thanks!

[@DemonSliime]

Just a little tip. If you are trying to seperate dirt from fragile roots, sometimes water is your best friend. Not using any pressure, just let the hose run over the dirt and it will break away. you can also fill a bucket with water and gently swirled the roots around in it and the dirt will fall free.

[@aggiehasselfield731]

Enjoyed watching this video 😊 I recently added moss poles to my Golden Pothos, Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus, Neon Pothos and Heart Leaf Philodendron. I am getting a Marble Pothos and an Adansonii tomorrow and will be adding moss poles to those also. I love the look of the leaves reaching up and spreading out.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Thats awesome. Now that I did this with the golden. I actually want to do the same with my Jade Satin Scindapsus. I want to see how big their leaves get when it climbs.

I have that's completely rootbound and has roots coming out of the top of the soil.. it needs repotted BADLY but I'm terrified to lose it. It's easy to repot a pothos that you've repotted previously.

Very informative great video! My question is I recieved a pothos plant from my awesome neighbor and she originally gave it to me in water. A year has passed and I’ve kept it in water and the plant seems to be doing well. It’s very bright and green but grows pretty slowly although it’s root system is getting pretty crazy and very big but I’m wondering would it be very bad to transport it to soil or will that be too jarring to it’s system to suddenly be put in soil. I don’t want to kill the plant because I care for it and want to do my best to keep it alive. Any advice would be gladly appreciated thanks :)

Hey there, I love your channel and have learned a lot! I bought a pothos two weeks ago. I’ve only watered it once, but noticed a yellow leaf.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Hmm I’ve never bottom water but if it’s not going up to the top of the soil, it must be getting clogged in the soil. I would repot and some sure the soil is a bit airy and loose. Or you can just loosen the soil that it’s in right now .
