How to Propagate Pothos in Water

2:30 great! I need to trim my pothos but I was worried it wouldn’t keep growing after it’s cut. This was exactly what I was looking for.

[@tenneyplants]

So glad it was helpful! 💛

[@wyndiefeatherstone948]

If I were you I think I would use a jar with a larger opening to make removing the rooted stems easier without the chance of ripping them off. I drive my sister crazy at times taking old jars that at one time contained food and washing them really well to use just for this purpose. I have done this on several occasions and it does take patience but is well worth it to make beautiful, full and bushy pothos plants! Thank you so much for your short and concise video, well done!

[@castanedagus]

My mom would just clip the plant and stuck it in water. Most of the time it grew but your method is more precise Greetings from Los Angeles

[@RB-ht4ix]

I watched your video after realising I was doing it all wrong. All the cuttings have now rooted so will plant them soon, thank you so much ❤

You do have to change out the water regularly or it will turn a yellowish color and your cutting will get mushy and die. I changed my water every 3-4 days

Thank you so much for showing it grows back, I was worried about that.

[@75JEG]

Thank you for a great video! Tonight I did this to about 8 leaves from the Mother plant. This plant was recently transplanted (3-4 months ago) because it was root bound in its pot. The past two months it hasn't been looking too great. My Father removed some of the root system, and planted it in potting soil. So I'm not sure why suddenly it's not doing well. A shock to the plant perhaps? Maybe he gave it too much water when he transplanted it? So I'm hoping that these leaves take, and start rooting for me. This was my Mother's plant that she had for many years - I think it misses her, and her green thumb 😔

[@tenneyplants]

Oh I hope it takes root too! I'm sorry for your loss and think it's really sweet you take care of her plant to remember her by. And I don't know how big the pot is that you and your dad repotted it in, but it's best to increase the pot size by a half inch or inch in diameter. Just so there's not a lot of empty wet soil with no roots in it to soak it up. :) I hope that helps!

[@75JEG]

@@tenneyplants Thank you for your quick reply! So maybe it didn't like losing some of it's roots and being placed back in the same size hanging basket (maybe 10" top dia.) with mostly soil. I'm thinking that maybe he took out half or more of it's roots. What might be the next best thing to do for the Mother plant? Thank you again!

[@tenneyplants]

Hm, I would recommend trimming the mother plant back. Doing so will allow the smaller root system not be so overwhelmed trying to support so many leaves. And you could propagate the trimmings too if you wanted to!

[@Trisharenel]

Great video!! Thank you

[@mimifoote4879]

I have some as a gift from months ago an they are growing like crazy in my water propagation! Can I leave them in water? Like forever? I’m in love with it. The roots are literally probably 7 inches long at this point an they have multiple new leafs

[@tenneyplants]

That’s awesome!! Yeah you can leave them in there indefinitely! Just make sure to change the water regularly and use hydroponic fertilizer when needed. But they’ll do great growing in water!

[@mimifoote4879]

@@tenneyplants thank you!!

[@aris.lingad]

if you don't want to change the water regularly, you can add it on top of your aquarium if you have fish as long as it's "moving" water through filter or sump, your pothos is will surely thrive.

[@alliehollister714]

Great video! Just wondering- Do you change out the water ever during this propagating process?

[@tenneyplants]

Yes, great question! If the water ever becomes cloudy, miscolored, or simply gets low, it’s a good idea to dump the old water and get some fresh water for it.

Thank you for this 😊 Such a helpful video. I just placed some trimmings from my pothos in a jar with water and started the process however the ends got really brown and wasn't growing any roots. Suggestions?

I’d try snipping off the brown ends (without taking off any nodes) and be diligent about changing the water. That should keep the ends from turning brown again. Hope that helps!

[@stephywesp]

a lot of mine r on the windowsill of a north facing window and the east wall of a room with a large south facing window also a tip ive done with mine is to NOT change the water pothos plants have a root hormone that they give off and helps it to grow roots the only time i’ve changed mine is if it has a suspicious mold not alge thats normal but like actual mold or if it starts to smell bad if ur gonna move the water plants into soil make sure u fill a nursery pot with dirt and plant it then put it in a bowl and fill the bowl with water to help it settle and keep the water highly watered for a while

[@OTseven]

Excellent. Thank you.

[@christophermichael.w.7577]

It took my first batch about a month. When I transplanted them to soil I made the mistake of burying the stem up to where the leaf meets. As a result about half rotted.I pulled the remaining ones back up and replanted them with about half of the old stem out of the ground. I tried to bury the main root and leave one above ground so that I don't have to worry about them rotting.

[@BohoBookworm]
