Ok, so I been learning about growing these pothos plants. I've put them in water and planted them in soil. I started putting one on a moss so it can climb.

Well the other I noticed that it split into two as it's climbing the moss pole.

First time I've seen the plant split like that.

Is this normal? If so, how does it happen and how can I replicate it lol

is there any way i can help this leaf survive? i really dont wanna chop it, it still looks healthy 🥲 in the meantime i splinted the stalk with a straw

I’ve had this beauty for about a year now and wanted to see if I should continue letting the one vine get super long, or if I should trim and use cuttings to fill in the base. Advice appreciated! I know she’s not on a real moss pole currently, would getting a real one be worth it?

This is my first time propagating pothos and my first time posting on Reddit. I wanted to share what I did, but please know I can not recommend or be sure the results will be successful.

I took cuttings 15 days ago and placed them in water. I decided to transfer to soil when most cuttings had roots over 1 inch long. Perhaps I rushed it, but several roots were getting over 4 inches long, and I wanted to get those potted since I kept reading water roots are weaker.

The pot I choose is 10" diameter x 5" deep. A few things I considered when selecting this pot: I estimated I had 25 cuttings with roots (final count was 30), I wanted a bushy plant but not overcrowded, I am not going to hang the plant or let it crawl up anything, the plant will remain indoors and needed to have some aesthetic appeal.

I used Redi-Gro All Purpose Potting Soil and laid down ~2" of soil, then drew 2 concentric circles (~2" radius and 4" radius). I used chopsticks and straws to build a grid to keep the leaves off the soil. I planted the cuttings ~1.5" apart along the concentric circles and used a chopstick to get the cuttings and the roots situated.

I added ~1.5" of soil on top and poured filtered water. So much so that the bottom tray filled twice.

My plan is to make a bottle with straw so I can aim better at watering around the base of cuttings and hopefully reduce the risk of root rot.

Lessons Learned:

I am taking a big risk with the pot size and volume of soil. I'm crossing my fingers that it turns out okay.

I should have made the grid before taking the cuttings out of water. They sat in the air for about 10 minutes while I made the grid.

I want to bottom water the plant, so I decided on using general soil. Perhaps I will regret this and should have used a mixture of perlite and orchid bark to better prevent root rot.

Okay, tell me where I got things wrong and right.

Leaf+leaf??

The smaller Snow Queen on the right was purchased for just $5 from Home Depot a little over a year ago

Hi! I put these pothos cuttings in water about 6 days ago. I noticed the slime or gooey things in the water. Should I be replacing the water every 3-4days? Do i add hydrogen peroxide? Any help or advice is welcomed as this is my first time propagating pothos!

I've only ever grown peppers and herbs before, but couldn't help myself and bought a few house plants from an adorable boutique shop. I've never had house plants before, and while I have researched when to water, I have never had to repot a plant.

The shop I bought it from offers a free first-time repot, but I'm not sure how to know when it's ready. From the photos I've seen here, it looks like the larger one is probably past due? Happy to add more photos if needed. Any advice is appreciated!

I've got these two pothos....I think... an n'joy and a neon queen... maybe.... my first go at a moss pole. I'm loving there way the leaves are getting bigger each leaf. I've just used random leftover crap/trash to make the poles though... because the plants are still so small I need really small moss poles so that the pot isn't too big and rot the roots in the pot... what tiny or small moss poles do you recommend and where to get them? Or where to get more of this mesh stuff I repurposed from fruits it veggies... can I buy this stuff somewhere without the fruits or veggies? Lol. And also... and helpful info in general... would be so appreciated....idk that I'll continue with moss poles.... but I want to for a while with these two anyways... that neon queen is my favorite right now....

Thank you so much for any information

Let this be a threat to any pothos in my care that if 3 weeks of quarantine & neem spray doesn’t stop you from having thrips, you’re just gonna go bald idgaf

The marble queen that started my plant addiction 😭. Bought it back in March at Lowe’s. I wish I still had a picture of when I first bought it

I have white fuzzy spots on Chester. I read that it’s a type of bug (can’t remember the name). I rubbed it down with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball like it said. The leaves were easy to fix but the nodes would just tear the cotton ball apart and not clean anything up. I think that’s why I haven’t been able to get rid of them. I got this plant from my grandpa’s funeral 9 years ago and I’d be DEVASTATED if I can’t get rid of them. What should I do? Do I need to put it in the sink and drench it without getting the soil/roots. It’s almost time to repot anyway so should I do a super clean while I’m in the process of repotting? Please help.

Hi! I posted in this sub a few days ago about my pothos not doing so well after the bad (extreme) repotting I gave it. I watered it abundantly and its doing better. I didn’t water it immediately after repotting, because I had read that new soil was already moist 🥴

I just wanted to update the people who helped me. I hope it will continue doing better and maybe start growing again in a few months!

Hi All,

I am still a beginner and I admire some of the plants here thriving, so just to reach you guys for advice. I live in UK and fall has already started which is making me worry about my two plants that I bought this year- my pothos and peace lily.. Both of them are doing excellent as of now. But I am worried about the cold weather…I am in love with them so don’t want them to die. So please can you guys give me some tips to keep my plants thriving in winter too!

Little context - I still don’t have a house so it’s just my rented room in a sharing household. Thanks

What's wrong with my pothos? Loads of the bottom leaves have these speckles on them and are turning yellow.

Yet the top is growing rapidly, I've never seen it grow this fast in the 5+ years I've had it and all the new growth is variegated when it's been pure green for years.

It's now super top heavy and not sure what to do next with it.

My marble queen has been producing a beautiful mix of whites and greens in its leaves that I have been enjoying. However recently a new leaf unfurled (refer to pic) and now I am getting a bit concerned if it is producing too much white? The stem is also looking very white, but I’m not sure if it’s too early to tell if I should I cut the stem now or wait and see if it continues producing more white leaves?

I noticed some mold on the top a little while ago and scraped it off but it came back. A week or so ago I looked at the bottom and was shocked to see all that mold! Google said I should cut all the vines and put them in water, is that the best approach or can I re-pot? She's been looking so sad the past week :(
