Pothos cuttings done this way, and you can tell a true master at a glance

I've seen many gardeners' pothos cuttings, but the ones that actually succeed are few and far between. And after seeing this gardener's cuttings today, I was speechless.

The gardener said they're a complete newbie who read lots of posts by the experts. Finally couldn't hold back and tried propagating a wild large-variegated pothos. Everyone take a look, can cuttings like this succeed?

Choose a good cutting cup and good soil, cut the pothos vines into single-node sections, and then just do the same as with succulent cuttings.

Alright, dividing line. Seeing this, do you all think it will sprout? The answer is that this gardener succeeded, so let's take a look at the sprouting!

The photo above shows buds starting to appear. That said, this way of cutting is correct, so why is it that even a large-rooted pothos can be propagated well, while some people fail with small ones?

The main reason lies in the choice of soil. Many people choose ordinary nutrient soil. You can see in the photo above that what's used is not ordinary soil, but a fluffy nutrient soil that contains some coir or fiber. This kind of soil is low in nutrients, well aerated, and very suitable as a cutting medium for plants.

Alright, once the pothos has 3 leaves, you can start watering and fertilizing. Later care is even more important, you know. Only with good care will the pothos easily fill out its pot.

Use granular fertilizer, with a fertilizer effect lasting up to 6 months. It can provide the pothos with plenty of nutrients, thus speeding up growth. Pothos is a foliage plant, so you can choose a high-nitrogen product.

Then add a bit of fermented rice water or cake fertilizer. Actually, rice water in the city isn't very nutritious anymore, since it's all refined rice. The best is still rural rice. So I suggest choosing cake fertilizer; once well fermented, the effect is the best.

Pothos requires watering that lets the soil dry and then get wet, and it must not be overwatered. I often tell friends that a pothos lacking water will at most wilt and won't die, but watering too much can easily kill it. For soil watering, it's suggested to water every 7 days in summer, and foliar spraying can be every 5 days. This ensures the pothos grows quickly.

Alright, those who like propagating pothos should remember the choice of nutrient soil.
