How To Propagate A Full Pot Of Pothos From One Vine | Houseplant Tips & Tricks Ep. 7 

MAGIC: Put a stem of pothos in the water with another plant that you want to root, and the pothos magically causes propagation of the other plant to root super fast. I don’t know how this works, but it does. Say for example you want to root a rubber plant. Put the stem of the rubber plant in water, and then add a pothos stem to root along with it, in the same water container. The rubber plant roots much faster than it would without the pothos in the same container. I propagate many varieties of plants and I always add a pothos stem. It works like magic. Try it, and be amazed!

You are the first person I’ve ever seen using the whole stem to prop. I hate when people cut between every node and then put a bunch of smaller starts in a pot. This method is so much better, THANK YOU!

I’ve been saying for a while that if Pothos weren’t as readily available, they would be selling at as high prices as Monstera Albos! The variegation on a golden Pothos, and their adorable heart shaped leaves are stunning! Never underestimate “common” plants for their beauty and originality, since every plant is different!!

I love that you let Muffin stay. Some folks stop their video and move the kitty.

I love the special guest appearance.

Wow! Didn’t expect this would be far and above lesson!!!!! Great teacher! Knows his stuff alright.

You’re a natural educator. I learned a lot, great job.

I love that you showed the WHOLE process!! I could've used this video a few years ago, lol. I tried MULTIPLE times to root plants straight in soil, because that's what I kept hearing you could do... unfortunately, I didn't know anything about the need for humidity or even that the cutting would most likely wilt! I either gave up too quickly when the cutting looked sad OR I completely rotted the stem because of a lack of light and humidity and too much water😅

What a great idea! You can get U-shaped hairpins at any Target, WalMart, etc., etc. Not bobby pins, but hairpins--the kind used to keep a bun in place.

Muffin wants to be propagated too! 🐈‍⬛ 🌱

This Is the greatest video of all time. I have been researching how to propagate Pothos for weeks and you are the only person who has shown me the process the possibilities in the outcomes. Bravo!

Being a wine/viticulture major I've always been in love with plants, but you're right, this is a slippery slope...and now my house is literally blooming with plants and feels better than ever - I think pothos are my favorite. Thanks for the tips here Nick!

❤️ now I'm tempted to cut the only vining one I have. Didn't know they needed humidity cause they've been growing slow. Thanks Nick.

Why has my brain not connected the dots, or vines, when I’ve done this many times with my “String of’s”?!! Thank you, Nick. These make much cuter props than my messes! 😂

I bought a very busy pothos and want to learn to propagate. Im glad I came across this video! I've seen people cut all these small pieces but this looks easier. Thank you

Pothos are great because they are so easy and robust and yet so versatile. It's a fantastic plant to lean propagation. We have had a golden pothos that I never really cared for, but I finally grew one vertical and I'm enjoying watching the growth change.

Usually I don't watch plant video longer than 10 mins, but yours is full of information for pothos propagation. Thank you.

I've been propagating my pothos the dummy way, getting these leggy monstrosities. Thank you SO much for this video. I learned so much!

I LOVE MY GOLDEN POTHOS!! I have started so many other plants from her and at last measure, her longest vine was just about EIGHT FEET LONG!!! Thanks for for the tips.

I love pothos! Mine is super long, it was hanging, but I'm gonna stake it up to get giant leaves!! I'm so excited

I wish I had found this video before cutting 20 individual nodes!! I could have made 3 little pots with your method. Luckily it's a fast grower so I should be able to implement this method soon! Thanks!

I've had houseplants most of my life an this way of propagating is a new one on me. I absolutely love it. I normally cut between each node or did a vine cutting in water or direct soil. Never thought of a whole vine attached an propagation in this way! So thx to u, I've learnt something new today! ☺️ Great video! 😉

Pothos is the only plan I cannot kill 😂

This was delightful and so is your kitty

This is the first time I’ve seen the whole vine propagated together. Makes sense to do it this way and so much easier. Thank you for the great information you put out!

I LOVE pothos! They're my absolute favorite. 😊

Thanks Nick: Your explanations for each option of growing and propagating pothos is very clear. I’m gonna be trying at least two of your methods very soon with my own golden Pothos. Glad I subscribed!

You’re a delight to watch. Thank you for teaching how to propagate and care for this awesome plant. My sister will be receiving a housewarming gift here soon ;)

This was a great video Nick! I always thought I had to do single node cuttings! I’ll definitely give this a try, thanks!

I've seen those "metal plant prongs" 12:02 referred to as "lawn staples" when using them to pin down the edges of sod to the ground below. But, I've also seen them called floral pins or floral greening pins. I actually make my own so I can adjust the length depending on the depth of the pot I'm using. And, I can also adjust the width to fit thinner or thicker stems/vines.

Kitty is so excited about this video, and so am I!!

thanks for the great demo! I have a leggy neon i need to do something with and most videos I find just say what to do but expect you to understand where you're supposed to be cutting or understand what the plant parts are called so when they say "cut between the thing and the thing" I'm like the what and the what?. you actually explained it.

Terrific video. I’ve grown pothos for years, and propogate new plants from cuttings. Never thought of a full vine. Great tip. Love to Muffin.

I simply love this video! You've given me more than one option to propogate and care for a pothos! I will be implementing all 3 ways just to experiment! Thank you so much!

I've never seen this way to propagate pothos! Going to try the Lecha method. Thanks, Nick.

Nick! I just found your videos today and I have already subscribed and watched several. I really love the way you are a natural born teacher and you make these videos so interesting and so fun to watch. Thanks for all the information and keep the videos coming, please 🌿💚.

I like the tip to curl up a vine and basically have a bushier plant from the start

Thanks so much Nick for your awesome explanation and presentation on how easy it is to propagate Pothos plants. I really like how easy you explain the steps to follow. Rechelle from Australia 🇦🇺

Colored glass marbles work very well in the water aswell

I do this for my friends. Little personal gifts from I plant I bought years ago. It’s a fun thing to do sometimes they turn out so nice I hate to give them away.

Best prop video EVER! Thank you😀🌱

I absolutely love your videos! Thank you for all the great information and tips!! I really appreciate it.

I have got a lot of information from this video as I am learning to grow pothos and syngoniums in soil and had a few queries in mind which were cleared in this video. Good job!

this my favorite plant.. my aunt gave me hers that was in a terracotta pot.. she had it by her big Oak tree.. the leaves trailed up the tree and they were Umbrella sized leaves! I did the same thing put it by my tree out front and the leaves were so ginormous.. people would stop to look at them in awe.

So helpful, Nick! Thank you.

that leca hack is genius!!

I so look forward to your daily videos...❤ pls keep them coming It is my personal 20mins of relax & regroup... favorite time of the day.🌿 Wish we had your suppliers in CAN 🍁

Bobby pins also work great as garden staples!

Excellent video! I had no idea you could propage an entire vine! I'm going to do this, this weekend. Your video was so infomration and helpful and i loved the comic relieve when you gave the jar a little spank! That was my favoruite part, othere than the immense amount of information.

Very unique tips! Thanks for new thoughts. Great video.

Thanks for the great ideas Nick - a fan from Vancouver, BC 😊

I finally gave in to the Golden after 30 years

This was very interesting to watch. I plan to try this method asap!

love it! I love pothos so much! I'm such a lazy plant lover and these plants are almost as indestructible as snake plant bless them :) the plastic bag mini greenhouse is so smart and also totally hilarious! lol! luckily I live in a tropical climate so I don't have a challenge with humidity here, but that's a great little hack. cheers!

Super helpful video. THANKS!

Hi Nick! This was yet another very informative, and helpful video! I've been propagating Golden Pothos for years and I've never seen it done the 3 ways that you did it. I usually just cut a vine that has bare spots by the base, keep the part with leaves and put it in water. They are one of the easiest plants to propagate. In fact, I usually just keep them in water because I can tuck them into tight spaces, or on a small shelf. I am going to try it the 3 ways you did the next time I propagate. I like that they are already formed into a small plant. I did try cutting between each node to propagate, but they all died. Probably because I didn't realize they needed the humidity when starting in soil. Funny story, I had one of these on a shelf, growing up the back of a cupboard in the kitchen where it was up against the wall, and when I went to move it, the aerial roots had attached themselves to the paint and were growing under the paint. Needless to say that when I removed the vine some of the paint came with it. LOL! Thank you so much for sharing!

So glad to find you! 2 videos I needed to see, peperomia and rooting pothos. I've been leary of peperomia after a tragic one years ago, but recently couldn't resist a Piccolo. The stems are succulent-looking(thanks for advice there) but I'm more confident and it's survived 6 or 7 weeks so far. Funny I originally watched because you so remind me of someone I can't quite placed, but must have liked him😂 then you turned out to be so informative. Yay! Subscribed for my and plants' sake. 😉🌼

Same I literally ignored them for the basic energy they served but man do I love them now at 34 😂. Hello from Chicago Illinois 🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏳️‍⚧️😁🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏳️‍⚧️🫶🏳️‍⚧️

Great, informative video, thank you!

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you! And you have a new subscriber 🍃🪴🌱🌿

lol I have to rewind 3 times to actually understand what you were saying. too busy watching the cat 🐈‍⬛🖤🖤

Awesome video, Nick.

Finally a cat lover! go muffin!

This really seems like magic. Thanks for sharing

My neighbor dropped one on my door this morning😂 I was just talking to my dad about wanting to learn to grow...guess be careful what you ask for lol

i am in love with your kitty!!!!! soooo sweet and sooo cuteeee

normally i chop it all up individually but one time i did do a little wrappy-do and crossed my fingers....love that you are making this a normal thing! loll

Thanks I shared with two people❤

Great video!

I'm doing just this with a jade pothos vine I got from a small pot of pearls and jade. I let it grow 8 new leaves and propagated it back to the original 2. Mother plant is putting out the new growth point and cuttings are rooting up nicely

Great one Nick thanks😊

Excellent video.

Thank you! Great methods!

Petition to call baby aerial roots "root nublets" from now on.

Your plant is gorgeous 🤩

Thank you ❤️

thank youuuu 🌱

What a great idea. I hate doing individual nodes, I rarely succeed in rooting them Recently I cut a huge piece of reverted manjula and she rooted much better. I've put her back with her mum, as the green sets off the variegation nicely. Win:win

I cut individual leaves and put the stem in water or planting soil and it will root as well.

I love your advice

Thank you

I'm sad to say that I had forgot about your channel.. but then I realized that I hadn't been getting any updates from you page! And I checked and I made sure and all notifications are on this is just weird

Your videos always look so nice, can you put your filming equipment in the description too?

I just cut a astem, stick directly into soil it grows really quick roots about in a week

Bobby pins also make great little stakes if you don't have paper clips or actual stakes (or whatever they are called!!).

hair pins also work and are quite cheap.

how are the going to grow out? will they create more vines or will they just grow from the end of the vine so you'll end up with just one long vine again?

Love your videos... very informative. My question to you is, I have some pothos plants growing in water, but recently have noticed that the roots have turned black on some of them. I change the water, I use distilled water on all my plants, about once a week, should I add or do anything different? Thanks in advance!

😯 have i been using rooting hormone powder the wrong way? I always placed it on the area I cut. didnt know it was supposed to be placed on the roots. thanks for this.

Hello, I just came across your video. I have a silly question because I am new to all of this. When you have the plant in the plastic bag do you to continue to water it or just let the humidity do the work? Great informative video!

Hey NIck, in the last method you showed, do you get new vine growth emerging from each of the nodes or only the tip end?

i only grow pothos in water, some have really long roots and i was planning at some point move it to soil but now,... it doesnt seem as a good idea since they didnt grew on those leika balls, and now i am scared they die if i move them to soil! any advice? thanks!

My pothos is looking so sad. Many vines have lost leaves towards the base. Many leaves at base are yellowing. I reported it and don't over water it so it's a mystery. It seemed to be the most happy in a dark corner or my bedroom where as it's now on a north facing window sill. Have propagated so I can start again. Yours looks so so full at the base. Looks wonderful.

Hey nice video. So what can I do when my leaves start getting pale and develop brown spots? They’re in water btw

Great video! How long vine can you use?

omg muffin 🥺♥

I have been guilty of leaving my rootings in the water for far too long. Is it possible to fertilize the water cuttings once they have rooted?

Newbie question since I haven't propagated this way before... Since this is a vine cutting, will it continue to vine/grow from only one end of the plant and then you continue to wrap it around inside the pot as it gets longer? Or since multiple nodes are rooting, will it grow as if you put multiple cuttings in a pot and all new growth points will vine?

I’m learning and keep overwatering thinking it needs tons of water (thinking water propagation) but it’s still doesn’t need that much water. I killed several new cuttings first under watering then by over watering “root rot”.
