When propagating pothos at home, the quantity is usually small, so different materials can be used as cutting media, such as soil, stove ash, sand, water, perlite, vermiculite, etc. Practice has shown that using sand as the medium to root pothos cuttings is convenient and clean, produces seedlings quickly, and the young plants are sturdy with well-developed root systems. The specific method is as follows:

Wash river sand clean and put it in a pot or wooden box. Select vigorous, healthy branches as cuttings, each about 5-8 cm long, and each segment must have two leaves. Lay them flat in the sand at a depth of 3-5 cm and water thoroughly. After that, spray water onto the leaves and the sand surface several times a day to keep the sand surface moist. At an ambient temperature above 20°C and under semi-shaded conditions, the cuttings will take root and sprout after about 20 days. Once the buds grow into small plantlets, they can be transplanted.
