How To Propagate A Full Pot Of Pothos From One Vine | Houseplant Tips & Tricks Ep. 7

[@coburgkid]

MAGIC: Put a stem of pothos in the water with another plant that you want to root, and the pothos magically causes propagation of the other plant to root super fast. I don’t know how this works, but it does. Say for example you want to root a rubber plant. Put the stem of the rubber plant in water, and then add a pothos stem to root along with it, in the same water container. The rubber plant roots much faster than it would without the pothos in the same container. I propagate many varieties of plants and I always add a pothos stem. It works like magic. Try it, and be amazed!

[@tinab758]

Had no idea! But I did add a Pothos vine to my pepperomia in a jar last week. So I am doing it already and will await the result. How exciting! Thanks for the tip.

[@HeyJudie]

thanks for this tip! I'll try it :)

[@demetrajohnson7666]

Yes it does work…

[@ARTintersect]

I saw this on one of Nick's videos and WOW!!! it works!!! Thank you!

[@HeyJudie]

@@tinab758 my pe peromia has been growing like a g d f weed w/o any pothos tbh

[@megansmith6526]

You are the first person I’ve ever seen using the whole stem to prop. I hate when people cut between every node and then put a bunch of smaller starts in a pot. This method is so much better, THANK YOU!

[@ScooterSkye777]

Being a wine/viticulture major I've always been in love with plants, but you're right, this is a slippery slope...and now my house is literally blooming with plants and feels better than ever - I think pothos are my favorite. Thanks for the tips here Nick!

[@shafiqytube]

Such a lovely Cat just added the presentation wonderful... Love your show and am very caring home gardener!

What a great idea! You can get U-shaped hairpins at any Target, WalMart, etc., etc. Not bobby pins, but hairpins--the kind used to keep a bun in place.

[@cindylu9090]

Usually I don't watch plant video longer than 10 mins, but yours is full of information for pothos propagation. Thank you.

[@TuzeTea]

thanks for the great demo! I have a leggy neon i need to do something with and most videos I find just say what to do but expect you to understand where you're supposed to be cutting or understand what the plant parts are called so when they say "cut between the thing and the thing" I'm like the what and the what?. you actually explained it.

[@kellimullins1387]

Just did the first method, thanks for the details! Excited to watch the roots grow through the glass jar :)

[@PlantyMessyHypsie]

Why has my brain not connected the dots, or vines, when I’ve done this many times with my “String of’s”?!! Thank you, Nick. These make much cuter props than my messes! 😂

[@ginkat1318]

This was delightful and so is your kitty

[@Apolbis]

You’re a delight to watch. Thank you for teaching how to propagate and care for this awesome plant. My sister will be receiving a housewarming gift here soon ;)

[@mslove2203]

I bought a very busy pothos and want to learn to propagate. Im glad I came across this video! I've seen people cut all these small pieces but this looks easier. Thank you

[@marielle36]

This is the first time I’ve seen the whole vine propagated together. Makes sense to do it this way and so much easier. Thank you for the great information you put out!

[@scampbell21]

Kitty is so excited about this video, and so am I!!

[@mydogsnameisbob]

Pothos are great because they are so easy and robust and yet so versatile. It's a fantastic plant to lean propagation. We have had a golden pothos that I never really cared for, but I finally grew one vertical and I'm enjoying watching the growth change.

[@laurenervin1404]

I love that you showed the WHOLE process!! I could've used this video a few years ago, lol. I tried MULTIPLE times to root plants straight in soil, because that's what I kept hearing you could do... unfortunately, I didn't know anything about the need for humidity or even that the cutting would most likely wilt! I either gave up too quickly when the cutting looked sad OR I completely rotted the stem because of a lack of light and humidity and too much water😅

[@frnk3b006]

I've seen those "metal plant prongs" 12:02 referred to as "lawn staples" when using them to pin down the edges of sod to the ground below. But, I've also seen them called floral pins or floral greening pins. I actually make my own so I can adjust the length depending on the depth of the pot I'm using. And, I can also adjust the width to fit thinner or thicker stems/vines.

[@andrearider8758]

Wow! Didn’t expect this would be far and above lesson!!!!! Great teacher! Knows his stuff alright.

[@cindyplutnicki8930]

This Is the greatest video of all time. I have been researching how to propagate Pothos for weeks and you are the only person who has shown me the process the possibilities in the outcomes. Bravo!

[@tammiefraser6364]

I feel so lucky sitting here trying to research how to save the life of my first Pothos with 210 rolls at least 10 feet long and at least a dozen others lol! I’ve learned so much from my first video ever and then reading the comments learned that I’ve even learned more than I thinkinstead of doing it differently individually lol bear with me I have no idea what I’m talking about but I’m pretty sure I just learned a hell of a lot!

[@michellecastro2475]

❤️ now I'm tempted to cut the only vining one I have. Didn't know they needed humidity cause they've been growing slow. Thanks Nick.

[@denisegiallombardo4797]

Thanks Nick: Your explanations for each option of growing and propagating pothos is very clear. I’m gonna be trying at least two of your methods very soon with my own golden Pothos. Glad I subscribed!

[@kyrahello]

I wish I had found this video before cutting 20 individual nodes!! I could have made 3 little pots with your method. Luckily it's a fast grower so I should be able to implement this method soon! Thanks!

[@aweishaupt5955]

Best prop video EVER! Thank you😀🌱

[@HeyJudie]

I've been propagating my pothos the dummy way, getting these leggy monstrosities. Thank you SO much for this video. I learned so much!

[@grandexandi]

I love pothos! Mine is super long, it was hanging, but I'm gonna stake it up to get giant leaves!! I'm so excited

[@Sheryl1026]

I've had houseplants most of my life an this way of propagating is a new one on me. I absolutely love it. I normally cut between each node or did a vine cutting in water or direct soil. Never thought of a whole vine attached an propagation in this way! So thx to u, I've learnt something new today! ☺️ Great video! 😉

this my favorite plant.. my aunt gave me hers that was in a terracotta pot.. she had it by her big Oak tree.. the leaves trailed up the tree and they were Umbrella sized leaves! I did the same thing put it by my tree out front and the leaves were so ginormous.. people would stop to look at them in awe.

[@pomroy65]

Excellent video! I had no idea you could propage an entire vine! I'm going to do this, this weekend. Your video was so infomration and helpful and i loved the comic relieve when you gave the jar a little spank! That was my favoruite part, othere than the immense amount of information.

[@wandashaw3551]

I LOVE MY GOLDEN POTHOS!! I have started so many other plants from her and at last measure, her longest vine was just about EIGHT FEET LONG!!! Thanks for for the tips.

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Nick! This was yet another very informative, and helpful video! I've been propagating Golden Pothos for years and I've never seen it done the 3 ways that you did it. I usually just cut a vine that has bare spots by the base, keep the part with leaves and put it in water. They are one of the easiest plants to propagate. In fact, I usually just keep them in water because I can tuck them into tight spaces, or on a small shelf. I am going to try it the 3 ways you did the next time I propagate. I like that they are already formed into a small plant. I did try cutting between each node to propagate, but they all died. Probably because I didn't realize they needed the humidity when starting in soil. Funny story, I had one of these on a shelf, growing up the back of a cupboard in the kitchen where it was up against the wall, and when I went to move it, the aerial roots had attached themselves to the paint and were growing under the paint. Needless to say that when I removed the vine some of the paint came with it. LOL! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Astrid-xl7de]

How did it go?😆

how are the going to grow out? will they create more vines or will they just grow from the end of the vine so you'll end up with just one long vine again?

Bobby pins also make great little stakes if you don't have paper clips or actual stakes (or whatever they are called!!).

[@jackiedavenport1530]

Quick question… (and I cannot find this anywhere on the Internet) •••On the mother plant, what happens to the vine that you took the cutting from? Years ago, I had a very long Golden Pothos in a hanging basket. If I remember correctly, at the point where I took a cutting, the ‘Mother Plant Vine’ would grow 2 new vines. Am I remembering this correctly?? It has been 40+ years ago. Ty! Great video.

[@DionneRoxanne]

Newbie question since I haven't propagated this way before... Since this is a vine cutting, will it continue to vine/grow from only one end of the plant and then you continue to wrap it around inside the pot as it gets longer? Or since multiple nodes are rooting, will it grow as if you put multiple cuttings in a pot and all new growth points will vine?

[@zoetoretto6936]

The answer for both questions is yes

[@randdooley8283]

What do you do when moving this 4" pot to a larger one? Do you. Continue to wrap the growing tip and secure with pins ? Do you cut the original cutting at each rooted node to force each cut portion to form new growing tips?

[@mzhunter8691]

How often should I water when propagating directly in soil?

[@brendanc.8019]

I have been guilty of leaving my rootings in the water for far too long. Is it possible to fertilize the water cuttings once they have rooted?

So glad to find you! 2 videos I needed to see, peperomia and rooting pothos. I've been leary of peperomia after a tragic one years ago, but recently couldn't resist a Piccolo. The stems are succulent-looking(thanks for advice there) but I'm more confident and it's survived 6 or 7 weeks so far.

Hello. My plant stem where is coming just from the soil ,about 15 -20 cm long,is thin dry and look like dead. My plant is dying from soil up to top leave by leave. How many cuts i can save it? From all stem as many as i can get?

[@Anahita554]

Thank you ❤️

[@allisonking3553]

Is this a better method than clipping each node or just a different approach? I have a friend that wants me to prop her some plants. I'm a propagation addict! Haha

[@Mintebi707]

What happens when that ring of vine grows roots from all the nodes? Do you pot them in soil as it is - a ring - or do you cut the vine between the new roots so they are separate? Also, why keep the vine together when trying to grow roots? Why not cut them into separate pieces, each with a node submerged? Does keeping the vine together make it grow faster / better? 🤷‍♀️

[@kaseypetz7900]

hair pins also work and are quite cheap.

[@francisfrancisco9088]

Would the coiling-vine-in-water method work with a philodendron micans? Hoping to do the same but don't want to end up wasting a vine D:

[@kathygenovy3893]

Can I use the same potting soil for epipremnum aureum?

[@Hollyferris]

My pothos is looking so sad. Many vines have lost leaves towards the base. Many leaves at base are yellowing. I reported it and don't over water it so it's a mystery. It seemed to be the most happy in a dark corner or my bedroom where as it's now on a north facing window sill. Have propagated so I can start again. Yours looks so so full at the base. Looks wonderful.

[@user-kd7ch1be6u]

Maybe its too cold/ there are drafts close to the window? 🤔

[@ameliamurphy8416]

Very unique tips! Thanks for new thoughts. Great video.

[@user-kr911]

How long is it going to take me to grow 1 single leaf into at least a vine? Is there anyway of speeding up the process? I bought a single leaf of what I think is a philodendron rio. I’ve never had just a leaf and I feel like it’s never going to do anything. Haha it’s potted in moss at the moment.

[@lgowellfrombowdoinme2528]

Is that a golden or Hawaiian pothos? Leaves are gorgeouse and super bright! Wah mine doesn't have those colors

lol I have to rewind 3 times to actually understand what you were saying. too busy watching the cat 🐈‍⬛🖤🖤

[@phonehouse5971]

I've tried 4 methods of pothos propagations (water, moss,soil,perlite)and tbh the best one in my experience is water Propagation the moss propagation and the perlite propagation were pretty good too but the soil propagation was the worst the plants died and ohh did use a plastic bag and kept it moist etc but the best one is water one it's free and 2 u can really see what's going on clearly

[@teresap1293]

Love your videos... very informative. My question to you is, I have some pothos plants growing in water, but recently have noticed that the roots have turned black on some of them. I change the water, I use distilled water on all my plants, about once a week, should I add or do anything different? Thanks in advance!

[@una8567]
