Propagate pothos this way, 100% survival!
1. Use scissors to cut off thick, fresh pothos vines. It is best to disinfect the scissors beforehand with a lighter.
2. Cut the pothos vines into several small sections, each containing 2 nodes, with 1 leaf and 1 growth bud in the middle.
3. Prepare leaf mold, peat soil, and perlite, and mix them evenly in a 2:2:1 ratio. It is best if they have been disinfected beforehand; if not, leave them in the sun for one day. Then spray water so the soil is slightly moist, and it is ready for planting pothos!
4. Wrap the pothos vines in a circle and insert them vertically into the soil, with the front of the leaves facing up.
5. After cuttings are finished, spray some water and place them in a ventilated, shady spot. Water thoroughly again when the soil surface is dry, and small buds will grow quickly!
Propagate kalanchoe this way, 1 pot becomes 10 pots!
1. Do not throw away the kalanchoe branches trimmed off in daily care. Use clean scissors to cut them into several small sections, then put them in a cool, ventilated place to let the wounds dry.
