Question about Golden Pothos / Devils Ivy clippings
| | |
Posted by angelbuck z9 LA (My Page) on Fri, Mar 3, 06 at 12:08
| A few months ago I reveived a Golden Pothos as a gift. I took clippings from it and placed them in a glass of water. The roots are now well formed and I'm ready to pot them in soil. I was wondering how many clippings should you pot together to eventually form a new full plant? Can you plant three clippings together and have them eventually grow full? Or do you need to plant several together? I am new to this plant, so I really don't know it's growing habits yet. Any information will be greatly appreciated. I have searched the web and have found everything else I need to know about propagating devils ivy except for this, they don't tell you how many clippings you need to plant together. Thank you in advance for all your help. |

if you rooted the plant in water, with pathos, they sometimes go into shock when planted from water to soil, try to put them in soil when the rootes are a little lest than an inch, that will reduce the occurance of shock, but back to your question, kind of lay them in a criss-cross patten in the soil and they will grow and fill out the pot. hope they take well.

| Hi, I'm rather new at cuttings but I took a cutting from my Golden Pothos, kept it in water for about a week and just stuck it in soil, it's growing like a weed. I have loads more to do too since one of my plants is about 8 feet long, lol. Keilamarie |

| Thank you so much for your tips. I did plant my clippings, about a week ago, they have been doing well so far. They look healthy and don't look like they are going into shock or anything. I did keep them in water for about a month and a half, so I was worried when I read what Robert wrote me. I guess I was just lucky so far. I do have more clippings in water at this time, they have been in there for about a week, but I don't see any roots coming out yet. Someone else said that you don't even need to put them in water, that you can just plant them in the soil and they will root on their own and start to grow, so I guess I can go ahead and plant them. We'll see what happens. Thanks again, Angel. |

| Yes you can just stick them in wet soil and they will root right up as long as your cuttings are not too big. You can also try a rooting hormone dip before sticking them in the soil (Hormex #1 works well). This will speed up root formation with less chance of failure. I continually take clippings to help fill out pots and the tip pruning of the original plants helps encourage branching creating a bushier fuller plant. |

| This pothos cutting was rooted in the ground right where it is, and is now 3 years old.

| I would agree that putting them in a criss-cross manner would be the best option. I wouldn't worry about shock. These little suckers are resilient. Robert |
