Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Pothos and Philodendron cuttings is a straightforward and rewarding process, primarily focused on successful rooting and establishing healthy growth. Upon receiving your single-node unrooted cuttings, the first step is to place the root node in water. Ensure the node is submerged while the leaf remains above the waterline. Change the water once a week to prevent bacterial growth and replenish oxygen. This process typically takes 4 to 6 weeks, during which you’ll observe the development of roots. Once the roots are at least an inch long, your cutting is ready to be transferred to soil.

For soil, a well-draining potting mix is crucial. A chunky aroid mix, often used for Monsteras and other similar plants, works exceptionally well. These plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct harsh sunlight, which can scorch their leaves, especially for variegated varieties like Marble Pothos. Conversely, too little light can lead to leggy growth and duller variegation. Maintain a consistent watering schedule, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering is a common mistake and can lead to root rot. These tropical plants prefer temperatures between 65°F and 85°F and moderate to high humidity. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Understanding the specific needs of each variety, such as Njoy Pothos for sale, will enhance your success.

Common problems include yellowing leaves (often due to overwatering or lack of nutrients) and brown, crispy edges (usually from low humidity or underwatering). Regular observation will help you identify and address issues promptly. While these cuttings are unrooted, once established, they are relatively low-maintenance houseplants. For instance, knowing the ideal conditions for a Heart Leaf Philodendron starter ensures a strong beginning. Maintaining good air circulation can also help prevent fungal issues. Enjoy the process of nurturing these beautiful plants from cuttings into flourishing specimens.

Size & Details

Each order of our Pothos and Philodendron cuttings consists of single-node, unrooted cuttings, allowing you to select the precise count and specific varieties you desire. These cuttings are the perfect starting point for propagation, typically measuring a few inches in length, with one or two healthy leaves and a viable node. Once rooted and planted, these vining plants can exhibit varying growth rates depending on the specific variety and care conditions. For example, a Heart Leaf Philodendron starter tends to grow more vigorously than some of the slower-growing variegated Pothos varieties.

When mature, most Pothos and Philodendron plants can develop long, trailing vines, often reaching several feet in length indoors if allowed to grow. The leaf size will also vary, with some varieties producing smaller, more compact leaves and others developing larger, more prominent foliage. These cuttings are shipped without soil or pots, focusing solely on providing healthy, viable nodes for your propagation efforts. Expect to see significant root development within 4-6 weeks in water, with established plants ready to thrive in their new environment shortly after. The ultimate size and lushness of your plant will depend on the care you provide, including light, water, and nutrients, as well as the inherent growth characteristics of each chosen variety.
