Pothos cuttings have always been a worry for many flower lovers. No matter how you take the cuttings, they just will not survive, which is truly heartbreaking. What on earth should be done about it? Today I will share with you 1 little trick for rooting pothos cuttings: cover them with a bag, and in 15 days they will be covered with big white roots; add 1 water, and the leaves will sprout like crazy, glossy green.

First, we need to choose robust, disease-free vines with nodes. Those with roots will survive more quickly. You can also root them in water first and then take cuttings, but of course, if you find that troublesome, just take cuttings directly.

Prepare a flower pot, cover it with a plastic bag, put in some loose, breathable soil, such as coir soil, then place the branches on it with the leaves facing up. After about 2 days, if the tender buds look fine and can stand upright, you can cover them with soil. First water the soil until moist, then cover it, not too thick. Then seal the bag, which can help retain moisture. This step is very important, as it will make rooting faster.

If the temperature is really high in summer, you can open the bag to let it breathe. At high temperatures, harmful bacteria multiply quickly, so you can cover it with another layer of coir soil. Generally, cuttings can root in 7-15 days. After new buds form leaves, you can start topdressing. Before repotting, you can use a general organic nutrient solution, diluted 1000 times, once every 15 days. It can promote more and stronger root growth, and the leaves will also grow quickly and abundantly, glossy green.

At this point, if you find yellow leaves, just cut them off with sharp scissors. If taking cuttings in summer, also pay attention to pest and disease control. You can water with a carbendazim solution once every 15 days to disinfect and sterilize, so the cuttings are less likely to be infected by pests and diseases and the survival rate is improved

When the leaves have grown quite a few, you can remove the bag and move them to a pot. This period is the vigorous growth period for pothos, so it cannot lack fertilizer, otherwise the growth rate will be affected. You can water with organic nutrient solution once every 7 days, diluted 500 times. It can be poured at the roots or sprayed on the leaves, making the pothos grow rapidly and the vines shoot out quickly, so they can climb the wall.

When growing pothos, you also need to pay attention to watering, because in many cases pothos are killed by our watering. So choosing a loose, breathable medium is very important. It is best if the bottom of the flower pot has holes. When watering, you can first feel the dryness and moisture of the soil with your hand. If you feel you cannot judge accurately, you can also use a flower and plant detector, insert it into the soil, and you can know whether the soil is dry. If it is dry, water it, and then you will not be afraid of watering wrongly.

If you also want to become a pothos tycoon, then the cutting skill is indispensable. Hurry up and practice it, so you can turn 1 pot into dozens of pots.
