Pothos, also known as Epipremnum Aureum, is an Araceae or evergreen flowering plant. The plant has waxy, heart-shaped, pointed dark green variegated leaves and grows up to 6′ to 10′ feet tall. Pothos vines can grow up to 30 feet long in some cases. The leaves are usually yellow variegated, although other types have splashed with white, cream, or pale green leaves. Although Pothos plants are primarily flowering plants, they rarely bloom independently. Its hardiness, low maintenance, appealing leaves, and air purifying properties are regarded. This plant can remove hazardous compounds such as benzene, xylene, toluene, trichloroethene, and formaldehyde from the indoor air.

Propagating Pothos From Cuttings
Pothos propagation is a simple method to multiply your single plant. When your pothos starts to age, become very lean and unruly, or become pot-bound, it’s a good idea to propagate it to give it a fresh start.Propagating Pothos In Water
Prepare cuttings:
1. A good plant needs to get off to a strong start. Choose a healthy plant with leaves that aren’t sick or yellowing to clip. The healthier the stem, the higher the chances of successful rooting. 2. Trim the stem to about 4 inches in length, making at least one leaf node (where the leaf attaches to the stem). I prefer to take longer cuttings with 3-4 leaf nodes (they usually root faster). It’s also easier to stay upright as a result of this.Propagating Pothos in Soil:
1. Follow the same instructions for soil cutting as you would for water cutting. It’s also a good idea to remove any leaves covered in soil because they will rot. 2. Rooting hormone is one item that always helps you succeed with cuttings. Dip the cutting into the hormone and shake off the excess powder.Reasons Why Your Pothos Cutting Didn’t Root
- You cut the stem in the wrong place.
- You didn’t change the water.
- There isn’t enough light.
- You took a cutting from an old/damaged vine.
- There isn’t enough warmth.
- You transplanted too late.
- They need more time.
Conclusion:
As you can see, propagating and maintaining pothos is simple! Of course, if you want your plant to thrive, you must take care of it. Pothos, fortunately for you, can thrive in a variety of conditions. You don’t have to worry about not putting it in direct sunlight because it can flourish in low light. When selecting soil, ensure it is nutrient-rich enough for the vine to thrive. Finally, it might help your eyes relax, especially if they are itchy or clogged. Glaucoma, cataracts, and hypertension are other issues that can be avoided or treated. Now is the moment to begin propagating your pothos to reap the full rewards of your investment.Also Read
