Never owned a house plant until my mother passed and one was left unwanted at her viewing. She always had many plants in the house so I figured I’d give it a home. It’s been almost two years and I’m happy to say that the plant is still thriving. It’s grown to about 8 feet long vines now. I wanted to trim it but being plant illiterate I had no idea how so I turned to KZbin. I watched a couple videos and I just want to say that your video was the most in depth one I came across. I followed your directions and now have a bunch of pothos plants throughout my home lol. Thank you for the great informative video

[@isabellagrace446]

yay! that's amazing! I'm sorry to hear about your mother tho.

[@DevilOnlyKnitsLace]

It must be comforting to take that plant, give it a home, and now you've propagated it! You've spread love! I bet your mom is proud, smiling at you from heaven!

[@warrenstates8955]

Mike Ferguson I have the same experience,. My mom passed away 3 years ago. My brother and I took a piece of my mom’s favourite plant! I am in the process of trying to save the plant. ( I over watereed it). I am watching this video to save my mom’s plant.

[@kishajohnson6107]

Warren States hows the plant? If you need help, holler!

[@debcobern312]

Some tips I do that add to success. Add a teaspoon of Colloidal Silver to your water, Use a straw to blow air into the water once a day. This allows you to leave the plants alone without having to change the water until you are ready to transplant. When you transplant keep the potting mix quite wet for the first week then gradually allow to become dryer over time. This way the water roots will become acclimated to the soil and failure is just about 0.

[@epicgardening]

That last tip is crucial...have to let the soil be quite wet

[@colincruickshanks7578]

That's very intriguing. Does the colloidal silver prevent green algae and smelly brown water?

[@carriesiler7927]

How much water in a teaspoon of colloidal silver and where did you buy it. Thanks

[@SunnySoroush]

Loved the video, dude. I have one simple tip, though: the more variegated a plant is, the less chlorophyll it has (which is what causes them to look light green or have white patches), so they will develop roots and put out new growth at a much slower rate. That's why your marble queen pothos weren't as "successful" at rooting in the same amount of time. They simply needed more time in water to develop the roots and leaves.

[@epicgardening]

Yup that's a good point, I should have mentioned that!

[@humility-righteous-giving]

its not true ,white patches indicate vibrancy and vigor ,if you want a pothos without white patches than put it in a low light situation ,i have a pothos outside with tons on bright indirect light and it has nice white spots than i have the same variety indoors with filtered light through window blinds and has almost no spots ,while both are healthy looking the one outside is growing more than 10 times faster,white spots and all, while the completely green grows very slowly

[@ValerieL456]

What if you put a drop of chlorophyl in the water? do you think that would help?

[@empressdoinalot]

@@humility-righteous-giving it is true. The green on leaves is the chlorophyll. The more white a leaf has the less chlorophyll it has. There's a reason why leaves on plants that have variegation and its just plain white, don't do so well or just die. Hence the variegated plants taking longer to root. I have a marble queen trying to root and nearly a week later, it's growing the vines but the roots are taking a while. The golden pothos started rooting within a week.

[@humility-righteous-giving]

@@empressdoinalot variegation ,a new word for me, i know a bit about plants, but i there is allot more i don't know, but my conclusion from what i saw with the same exact genetics of pothos is that it produces the white spots when it has abundant amounts of light and can afford to express the white spots witch makes it look allot more nicer

[@FqqT]

btw i planted the "wasted bits" - and got plants out of it. so don't throw those out people! plant them as just stems and still get plants!

[@epicgardening]

Cool to know!

[@pfirsch77]

Everywhere there are nodes, the bumps on the stem, there is potential to grow new roots.

[@analdelrey249]

i didn't know u needed to actually let them soak for days but instead, i put them in soil immediately haha and they still grew quite well but slow ! maybe luck?

[@kmproyaladi]

Probably there are nodes in " Wasted bits"

[@parrotsandmore7446]

@@analdelrey249 I put half of my cuttings in water and half planted directly in soil! I had about 75%success with both ways! They all rooted and are doing great

[@seekerofallah1014]

I root my cuttings in water exactly as you described then transfer them into pots with soil, I place a glass dome on top of the plant pot which creates a humid environment around the cuttings and they appear to respond very well since golden pothos thrives in humidity. I get an abundance of new shoots & leaves which thickens the overall look and creates a beautiful dense, lush appearance. All my cuttings rooted in water propagate with 100% success and no casualties, the dome also saves me from watering the pot, I just check that the soil is damp to the touch. Then when I have enough foliage covering all the soil surface I remove the dome and maintain the pot with usual watering for pothos and misting with water. Friends & colleagues always marvel at the green, lush appearance and the plants still give off vines, although I keep cutting them back to make yet more cuttings. Love your videos!

[@epicgardening]

Yeah, the humidity dome is pretty crucial after you transfer to soil!

Pothos is actually a really popular plant in the aquarium community. It is placed right in the aquarium, or in the hang-on-back filter as a means of reducing the nitrates from the fish waste. My wife and I have a whole bunch of it growing in our aquariums. the pothos in her desk aquarium is twining all up and down her desk lamp lol.

[@epicgardening]

Yeah I can see that. It's easily one of the best plants for a hydroponic environment so makes sense it'd do well in an aquarium

Oh my gosh, this must be the best tutorial I’ve ever seen in my life - and I’ve watched many videos on various subjects. My mom passed away a few years ago and we have one plant that she had for years. We’re trying to propagate and eventually have enough to give one to everyone in the family. Thank you for all the time and energy that you put into this video. I really enjoyed your presentation as well as learned a lot. I’m going to make a decision on if the roots are at the right stage right now.

[@nature9010]

This was my first time propagating a plant and I followed this tutorial (with minor adjustments) with 100% success. I'm not sure if these little changes actually affected anything, but with my set up I had all my cuttings in one large vase (I thought it'd help to give the roots room to grow?), placed this in a window that got about 5-4 hours of direct sunlight, changed the water every 2 days, and added plant food to the water (de-chlorinated water). My cuttings had about 3-inch roots and budding leaves in about a week and a half, so now they're happily chilling in their new pot c: I really don't know why I haven't tried this sooner. I guess I thought I was gonna screw it up, but your video made it look so easy! I've had my 2 pothos for about 2 years now, and they're getting pretty big and lowkey out of control, considering that I've yet to like.... actually groom them lol

[@epicgardening]

Wow, congrats! Makes me happy to hear this worked for you 😁

[@lisabeauchamp6949]

Thank you so much. I tried this with a 12’ Long vine that lost about 1/3 of its leaves. Almost every cutting rooted and I planted them in one pot (about 2 dozen or more). I lost about 4 cuttings in the soil but the cuttings have sprouted so many babies. Literally another dozen babies which I didn’t expect. Sooo happy! Thank you 😊. Oh one more thing I just used shot glasses and wine glasses.

[@nuimaleko7]

I find that the more exotic the variety, the slower pothos is to root. Some of the oldest varieties will put out roots in a week or so, but things like neon can take months. I do find that putting new cuttings in with cuttings that are already rooting seems to encourage the new ones to root faster because the ones that have roots release hormones. Clear or translucent containers work best since light seems to stimulate rooting.

[@epicgardening]

I've noticed this in my experience as well :)

[@elaineculbert8594]

I’ve read that if you cut a few inches of young growth off a Willow tree (in Spring or Summer) it encourages faster rooting. I haven’t done that BUT did root some young willow branches in water a few years ago and ended up with a 12’ (and counting!) tall tree which I planted in my backyard.

Two days later, it started developing roots and since then, I've let it stay in there, tons of roots and approximately one new leaf per week. It grows vertically along the rim of the aquarium glass. So cool.

You have a nice way of giving instructions, not a lot of unnecessary chatter but plenty of information on the subject at hand and at an easy pace - not too fast; not too slow. I’ve had many house plants in my time and love the rooting process which is my favorite part ... lol! I don’t have room to keep all the plants, however, so they are passed on to friends. I kept an Arrowhead plant in a jug of water for many years. I changed the water about every two or three days and when the roots got too long, I simply cut 3”or 4” off the roots so the plant could remain in its jug. I do have a question ... do you grow orchids? Thanks again for your video.

[@Emiliapocalypse]

@planterina tip: use Bobby Pins to pin the cuttings into place! Many aquarists (including myself!) grow pothos hydroponically (great for aquariums). I used to have about 10 cuttings growing in a 2 foot tall cylindrical vase (and baby guppies living inside). The cuttings grew to about 15 feet! (I cut em down and kept going!) One more thing: I think having the different species growing together could result in crazy root growth, each one trying to outcompete the other. Thanks! Nice Propagation Station! 😊

I just potted some rooted golden, marble queen, and neon pothos together. It's gorgeous, can't wait for it to fill out a bit more. 😍 Very cool to find another example... I agree it's hard to believe it's not more common! I have always used multi-leaf vine segments (6-12" long) for propogation and they've always done very well. I usually wait until there's a pretty good root mass in water before moving to soil, and they always adjust well with no awkward stage. So interesting to hear other methods also. Great video!

I propagated one of my golden pothos plants a few months ago. All the cuttings rooted, and I transplanted them into the soil when the roots were about an inch long each. But they haven't grown at all in the past month or so. They're not dying, the stems aren't rotting, and the leaves are bright and vibrant. I'm not sure if I did something wrong in the propagation or the planting. I've been giving them indirect light and water about once a week when the top inch of soil is dry, and they've been in a warm environment. Do you have any idea why they're not growing? Anything I can do to encourage them?

Might rescue it, nuse it back to good health then propagate it. I love nursing sick dying plants back to good health. The half dead ones I rescued last winter are now very healthy and lushing all over the place and need bigger pots. I amso pleased with their progress. Watching them recover from ill healthgives me hope in coping withCovid threat and keeps me safe at home caring for them.

enjoyed your video, just one thing I noticed you look like the bartender from netflix's Atypical

[@epicgardening]

Thanks! And if that's a good thing, I'll take it and if not...😂

[@pinkcashmere1908]

To increase a successful transplant rate, I use the mykos you've suggested...I've had extra long roots and they do just fine . I've had 100% success rate doing this.

My aunt has a pathos that is about 25 years old but it hasn’t grown any. It has lived its whole life in water.

[@epicgardening]

That's wild! Would love to see pictures. Try taking some cuttings and rooting them, then planting in soil?

[@CuriousinNY]

Epic Gardening After viewing your video I thought the same thing so I went and had a look; but there isn’t a whole lot of vining going on so nothing to cut from.

[@burstallpass4394]

Linda Johnson, I grow a few different kinds of plants in water. I change the water once per week. The night before I change my water I have been fertilizing (very diluted, with more nitrates -less ammoniacal) I just add a small amount and they grow really well. Try that and see. Water roots are so beautiful to me, I just love to grow some plants this way. I would love to hear if that works for you.

[@CuriousinNY]

Burstall Pass Thanks. Nitrates as fertilizer? Do you have a name of a product for me to google for purchase? What about worm tea? Or, a Beta?

[@burstallpass4394]

I use MaxiGro Fertilizer 10% total Nitrogen, 8.5% Nitrate, 1.5% Ammoniacal. Schultz and Miracle Grow do not list their Nitrogen content, so I assume it is mostly Ammoniacal. As I understand it, plants grown hydroponically are unable to convert to Nitrates given there is no soil/bacteria. I don't know about worm tea or Beta. If you do use this fertilizer a little goes a long way, believe me. I only use 1/4tsp per gallon of water. MaxiGro recommends 1-2, but I have found that way too much! Good Luck.

[@Thankful_.]

I divided several different variety’s of Pothos plants that I had after watching this video. I repotted neon pothos with jade pothos and I am very pleased w this new look! Thx

[@epicgardening]

Wow glad to help!

[@carolynchengg]

hy-pothos-is 😂

[@laurencavanaugh9397]

I trimmed my cuttings following your instructions- my cuttings now have roots in 5 days where they had none before! Thanks for making this video!

[@epicgardening]

Nicely done! Get those in the soil now :)

[@MsFreya91]

I think I’ll try the same thing, because they’ve been there for almost two weeks now and there’s almost no change. The leaves still look healthy though

[@daniellaandrade7942]

You’re so cute 😍

[@tonypoole1391]

hey buddy great video, i've previously taken cuttings from philodendren, boston ivy, and anthuriums using the same method for propogation as you do but, with a slight dfferece to speed up the germination . when the mother plant was growing she was being fed with a full strength fertiliser but a cutting only needs a diluted solution to grow . Also when the temperature starts to get hottter misting the leaves increases the humidity. By using this method i fund that plants were rootig in about 4 to 6 weeks.

[@juanitagordon5064]

Your plants looks very healthy and I like propagating jars, Amazon has every thing, smile

[@earljavier9560]

I propagating a pothos straight to the soil and its looks good now and great.. i will try this water propagating next time

[@StacyML79]

I have never propagated leaves like this. I have done more "vines". I am excited to try this.

[@arieldenning8719]

I did an experiment with the waste cuts. I threw the naked cut stems in a plastic whipped cream container with fresh water for a few months (changed water weekly) and each and every "wasted cut" grew roots from nodes and then leaves! They're not trash, they just take longer! I actually just put them in soil today! Oh- and the container had the lid on. And it had no sun besides what could peek through the white container. And had no rot!

[@TrustSasu]

I propagated a golden pothos stem with a few more leaves, until i found out about this method. So i took more cutting, and did it this way, and let my first cutting wait for at least 2 months in water until I potted it up with the rest. The root was around 20 cm long and had made 3 new leaves, but had no problem transitioning to soil from water. Same with my other cuttings that had the same size roots as yours

[@epicgardening]

Good tip!

[@thatkansasgirl3687]

I have 2 huge plants I been growing many yrs now. I take 1/2cup coffee diluted to 1/2c water once a month. They love it

[@MelTheDestroya]

I would love to see a hydroponic pothos video. Thanks for sharing great videos! Love that you follow several stages of the plant’s development within one video!

[@danabasque6578]

That was so awesome!! Thank you! I’m a beginner in planting Pothos. I’ve got some cuttings for a friend. Marble and not sure on the other one. I do need to transplant it I think. I have roots from propagation. It’s growing slow and leaves have yellow spots. I’ve went to my best knowledge To cutting & plant it. Now I’ve watched your video, I How much of an idea how to do it. Thank you

[@bubblegreen8811]

looks like those plants LOVE the propagation bulbs... i have added two sets to my cart on Amazon!! thank you !

[@lmh897]

I love your national parks posters! That's a pretty nice "propogation station" too.

[@carsonlewallen3860]

This was the best video I found!! Thanks for being so detail oriented!!

[@wyndiefeatherstone948]

I mixed my pothos when I planted them and figured it was no big deal and it isn't. What I ran into was that my very variegated pothos cannot withstand the same amount of sunlight as my marble queen, which then became an issue, so I have stopped doing that and I am now just planting the same variety together. This time however I cut my vines at Christmas time and put them in water on a heat mat with a grow light. Several have turned yellow so now I am thinking that doing this in December was not a good idea! I will see how this turns out before gathering more cuttings!

[@bubblegreen8811]

omg THANK YOU for that part about not feeling bad because my pothos does not look like a nursery's!! i HAVE felt like crap because mine were not "bushy".. happy to know i am normal lol

[@gratefulMOMent]

Probably the best video I’ve seen on Pothos propagation. Thank you! I also really like how you potted them all together. Very cool.

[@epicgardening]

Thank you !

[@foggyvhs8790]

Got this same setup a bit ago. Was worried seeing my plants droop at the start of winter so wanted some backups. Some crazy root growth on my pothos cuttings.. will be tricky as they’ve grown around the bar haha. Handy tools for backups or making plant starters for friends and family

[@Araceli-90]

Great video. I’m new to all this and want to learn more about propagation. This video helped out a lot. Thanks for the weekly updates.
