Hi there! Back with my Pothos Obsession!
![]() |
| My current list - I have 4 and (hopefully) counting! |
What is it that I love about pothos you might ask? Let me count the why's....
1. They are super easy to care for... basically, even I can keep them alive and happy!
2. They are happy with my once a week watering schedule. NO drama here, no droopy leaves, no dying...
3. They seem to thrive no matter where I put them.. south facing window? check! North facing window? check, outside, inside, in the greenhouse? all check!
4. fertilizer? sure, or not, or whatever they want!
Seriously, these are the virgo of plants... go with the flow and thrive where they are! They also come in lots of cool varieties and colors!
Taking cuttings from pothos is pretty easy. Just find a spot on a trailing piece - I usually do it under a leaf where there is a longer piece of stem. Then cut. I like to do this at a 45 degree angle.
Once cut, you can put the cut ends in soil, water, or in a fish tank. I have done all three. Here are some pictures of ones I put in all three about a month ago.
Soil.. the soil was moist when I started filling up this hanging basket with cuttings. It gets a single minute of drip irrigation every morning.
This is one of my water propagation stations. This one is located in my bathroom which is high humidity but very low light.
This pothos is in my son’s fish tank. The root structure is crazy!
