Pothos, which is simple and easy to grow, is a must-have green plant in many people’s homes. Today we will take a look at how to propagate Pothos. Here we mainly introduce three commonly used methods: cutting, layering, and water cutting. Let’s learn about it together.

1. Cuttings

1. Cuttings

1. Select branches

Select mature, strong and disease-free strips from the pothos plant. It is generally recommended to select from the center of the pothos plant. This can also be done Facilitates transparency of the middle branches and leaves. The selected paper strips have three or four leaves, and the length is controlled to about ten centimeters.

2. Select the substrate

The choice of substrate for cuttings is very important. Choose loose, fertile and clean soil, but it must not contain fertilizer. Fertilizer will inhibit the production of new roots, which is not conducive to the growth of new roots. Pothos survives.

3. Later maintenance

After planting, place the pothos in a cool and ventilated place. The cutted seedlings must be careful to avoid strong direct light. If the humidity at home is relatively low and the air is too dry, you can cover the cutting leaves with plastic film. If the number of cuttings is relatively small, you can also use a disposable paper cup to hold it upside down to keep it warm and moisturizing.

2. Layering

Pothos in There are aerial roots growing on the knots. Taking advantage of this feature, we can select longer Pothos branches and bury them in the soil without cutting them off. This ensures that the soil can cover the "knots" of the Pothos and allow the aerial roots to work. It will take about twenty days and a month for the small knot to grow roots. After the roots grow, you can cut it off from the parent body, dig it out of the soil, and transplant it into a new flower pot.

3. Water insertion

Cut the branches (requirements are the same as above) and place the wound in a cool place for about 20 minutes. The wound will slowly dry. Then add water to a clean container and put the branches in. Change the water about once a week and it will slowly dry out. Observe that new roots have grown. After the new roots grow, you can choose soil culture or water culture. If you want soil culture, the new roots can be transplanted when they grow to about ten centimeters.
