Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Pothos and Philodendron cuttings for successful propagation is a straightforward process. Upon receiving your unrooted single-node cuttings, the first step is to place the root node in a container of clean water. Ensure that only the node is submerged, keeping the leaf out of the water to prevent rot. Change the water once a week, or more frequently if it appears cloudy, for approximately 4 to 6 weeks. This regular water change provides fresh oxygen and prevents bacterial growth, which is crucial for healthy root development.

During the rooting phase, place your cuttings in a location that receives bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves. Once you observe roots growing to about 1-2 inches long, your cuttings are ready to be planted in soil. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for aroids, to provide the best environment for your new plants. After potting, water thoroughly and place the newly potted plants back in bright, indirect light. Continue to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the initial establishment period.

For ongoing care of your Pothos and Philodendron cuttings as they mature, aim for consistent watering, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings. These plants prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and appreciate moderate to high humidity, though they are quite adaptable. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs, and address them promptly with insecticidal soap. With proper care, your propagated rare Pothos varieties and Philodendrons will flourish.

Size & Details

Each order includes single-node unrooted cuttings, with the specific count and variety determined by your selection. These cuttings are typically 2-4 inches in length, featuring one or two leaves and a distinct node ready for propagation. While the exact size of the mature plant will vary significantly based on growing conditions and care, most Pothos and Philodendrons are vigorous growers. For example, a Njoy Pothos or Heart Leaf Philodendron can trail several feet when mature, making them ideal for hanging baskets or climbing supports. The growth rate is generally moderate to fast, with new leaves appearing regularly under optimal conditions. Expect to see initial root development within a few weeks, with established plants ready for display in a few months.

These cuttings are shipped without soil or pots, focusing solely on the healthy propagation material. This method ensures the best chance of successful rooting and reduces shipping stress. The ultimate size and spread of your plant will depend on the pot size you choose and whether you allow it to trail or climb. With proper care, these small cuttings will grow into robust and beautiful houseplants, showcasing the unique patterns of varieties like Silver Satin Pothos and Golden Pothos.
