What method makes water-propagated pothos cuttings root quickly?

Pothos not only has beautiful leaves but can also absorb harmful indoor gases such as formaldehyde and benzene. At the same time, pothos can also release a large amount of oxygen, increasing indoor oxygen levels, giving a fresh feeling, which also makes many people like to grow pothos at home.

But regarding the method for rooting water-propagated pothos cuttings, many netizens also do not understand the steps.

First, you need to cut a stem. When first starting water propagation, you must first cut a section of stem with aerial roots, as this will allow better rooting. The length can be maintained at about 10cm, and the leaves on the stem should not be too many, about 4-5 leaves is fine.

Next, prepare a clean water propagation container, preferably a transparent vase or plastic bottle. If it is not transparent, the rooting speed will slow down, and you also cannot observe its root growth. Add some clean water to the bottle, and if possible, also add some nutrient solution to the water.

Finally, you can carry out water propagation. Insert the cut stem into the container with water, and change the water about every 3 days. After you find that it has grown roots, you do not need to change the water so frequently. The water used must be clean; if there are impurities in it, the stem will easily rot.

Of course, in the process of water-propagating pothos, there are some precautions to note

1. Do not let the leaves on the stem soak in the water. Once they do for a long time, they will rot, thereby making the water quality worse.

2. Also pay attention to the water used for water propagation. It must not be too cold or too hot; use water close to room temperature.

Water-propagated pothos care knowledge:

1. Appropriate light

Although the plant is shade-tolerant, appropriate exposure to sunlight can promote growth. Without contact for a long time, staying in a dark environment is not only unfavorable for growth, but will also cause the plant to weaken, and even cause leaves to turn yellow and fall off. It can be placed by a bright window where it can receive scattered light; an east-facing balcony is best.

2. Regular water changes

Because in water culture, the main source of nutrients is the water used for cultivation, so regular water changes can continuously provide nutrients. In summer, the temperature is high and impurities are easily produced, so change the water every 4-5 days. In winter, the temperature is relatively low and growth is also slower, so change the water about every 7 days. If the water is found to be cloudy, replace it promptly.

3. Prune the roots

During growth, the root system can become messy, so proper pruning is very necessary. Some old roots and rotten roots can be removed, which can increase absorption capacity, ensure root health, and thus lay a good foundation for the plant to thrive.

4. Supplement nutrients

If you want to promote lush plant growth, applying nutrients is essential. Adding nutrient solution on time can supply nutrients, and aspirin tablets or vitamin C tablets can also be added.
