Propagating Pothos: Cuttings Beat Whole Vines

Why You Shouldn't Pull a Rooted Pothos Vine

Pothos roots are tightly intertwined; extracting one vine damages the mother plant and yields a single, non-branching stem. A lush pothos needs multiple vines in one pot (6+ for fullness).

Best Propagation Method

1. Take 4–6 inch stem cuttings with at least 2 nodes.
2. Root several together in water until roots are 1+ inch long.
3. Plant the group in a small (3–4") pot with damp potting mix.

This creates a full, multi-stemmed plant that will trail beautifully.
