How to prune a pothos: prune your pothos regularly

Pothos is a plant that may be grown both at home and in the office. Pothos grows very quickly, and within a few months it becomes thick with branches and lush leaves. When there are too many leaves, it needs to be pruned so that the pothos can grow more healthily and remain attractive. So how do you prune a pothos?


When pruning a potted pothos that has a moss pole set up in its pot, once the pothos stems and vines have covered the moss pole and the tips extend about 20 cm beyond the moss pole, cut off 40 cm of the stem tips of half of the pothos. After the cut-back stems sprout new buds and new leaves, cut off the stem tips of the remaining plants. For a pothos whose growth is poor due to winter cold damage or other reasons, you can prune away 1/2 of the stems and vines of half of the pothos, and prune away about 2/3 of the other half, so that new leaves will quickly cover the entire moss pole.
When pruning a pothos that has no moss pole, once the pothos has grown too long, you can cut it back to about 20 cm above the potting soil and let it sprout new branches and leaves. When the new branches and leaves reach 20 cm, then cut away the other old leaves. After all the branches and leaves have been renewed, the whole pot of pothos will take on fresh green growth.
In addition, we should note that after pruning the branches and leaves, proper care is needed for the pothos to grow well.
