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!

@@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!

[@2_Gay_Rats_Kissing]

I’ve been saying for a while that if Pothos weren’t as readily available, they would be selling at as high prices as Monstera Albos! The variegation on a golden Pothos, and their adorable heart shaped leaves are stunning! Never underestimate “common” plants for their beauty and originality, since every plant is different!!

[@itsshwetas]

Totally agree!! One of my fave "common" houseplants!

[@erinjoy5625]

I'm new to house plants and I already completely agree.!! Just picked up my first golden pothos today actually. Although mine doesn't have much varigation at all unfortunately. Going to place in window to get better light. Do u have any idea how long this should take before I start seeing varigation ??

[@In.my.red.headdd]

YES!! Honestly, I could be 100% content just collecting pothos

[@arianafadroski6789]

Popular things are popular for a reason, they’re probably pretty cool 😌

[@ashleyhanson1269]

@@erinjoy5625 The existing leaves without variegation won't change, but any existing variegation will become more pronounced and new growth is more likely to be variegated now that it has more light!

[@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!

[@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😅

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@Alicia-bn9fg]

Muffin wants to be propagated too! 🐈‍⬛ 🌱

[@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.

[@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!

[@PlantyMessyHypsie]

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.

This was a great video Nick! I always thought I had to do single node cuttings! I’ll definitely give this a try, thanks!

[@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.

[@marykehoe8294]

Terrific video. I’ve grown pothos for years, and propogate new plants from cuttings. Never thought of a full vine. Great tip. Love to Muffin.

[@scampbell21]

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

[@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!

Hey NIck, in the last method you showed, do you get new vine growth emerging from each of the nodes or only the tip end?

[@lisafriday8047]

Hello, I just came across your video. I have a silly question because I am new to all of this. When you have the plant in the plastic bag do you to continue to water it or just let the humidity do the work? Great informative video!

😯 have i been using rooting hormone powder the wrong way? I always placed it on the area I cut. didnt know it was supposed to be placed on the roots. thanks for this.

[@byggrynsgroet]

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?

[@freebutterfly102]

I’m learning and keep overwatering thinking it needs tons of water (thinking water propagation) but it’s still doesn’t need that much water. I killed several new cuttings first under watering then by over watering “root rot”.

[@Buety12002]

Hey nice video. So what can I do when my leaves start getting pale and develop brown spots? They’re in water btw

[@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?

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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]
