Pothos water propagation uses aerial roots, and every single cutting can grow white roots

How do you do pothos water propagation? Below I will introduce a few very simple methods, and I hope everyone will like them.

Pothos water propagation is the simplest and easiest lesson, and many people say there is no skill to it at all. Just throw it in water and that is it, but why do so many people still fail and get rot when propagating in water? In fact, the simpler the thing, the more knowledge is hidden inside it.

What do you need to prepare for pothos water propagation?

(1) The mother plant for cuttings in water propagation

The mother plant is the pothos you use for water propagation, otherwise where would you get the stems? You cannot always go ask the lady next door for them, and you cannot always go cut them from the community green belt either. Buying one pot yourself is also cheap, and after raising it for a few days it will grow long stems.

(2) Choose vigorous stems

What are vigorous stems? They are relatively "young" stems, not aged ones. Also, do not use diseased stems, so that water propagation from cuttings will be easy. Generally, people cut them simply at a 45-degree angle, and then only need to keep 2 leaves.

(3) Using aerial roots can give 100% success

What are pothos aerial roots? Aerial roots are the roots of pothos exposed to the air. If you find your pothos does not have them, you can use a sprayer to mist the leaves, then put it in the bathroom for 7 days, spraying every day. This way the aerial roots will come out. I have tried it, and the effect is good.

(4) Details to note in water propagation

During water propagation, do not soak all the aerial roots in the water; just let them lightly touch the water surface. It is best to choose a bottle for water propagation. This way, the aerial roots can transform into water roots in 7 days. Once white roots appear, it means the water propagation has succeeded.

After roots appear, you can add a few drops of good nutrient solution to the water, but do not add any granular fertilizer even if it is not excessive. Then change the water every 7 days, keep it in clean water for 5 days, then change to water with nutrient solution added and keep it for 7 days. With this cycle for 1 month, the water-propagated pothos will explode with roots.

Water-propagated pothos is a home decor item, and we can use it to embellish life. Choosing a good vase for water propagation will make it look very poetic. Those who like it can try it, and those who do not care can also just use a mineral water bottle.

Alright, if you pay attention to the use of aerial roots in pothos water propagation, it becomes very simple. If you like it, give it a like.
