Step 1: Clip off a healthy vine
Use your clean sharp shears to take vine clipping from your neon pothos. We typically cut above a leaf node (where the leaf connects to the vine) and try to leave 3-4 leaves on the mother plant. You can propagate a cut vine as a whole, or cut above and below the individual leaf nodes to propagate multiple leaves separately.
Step 2: Put clipping in water
Fill a clear glass cup, vase, or jar with about 2″ of water. Stick the cut end of your vine in the water, making sure no leaves are submerged. You can remove lower leaves as needed.
Step 3: Place in a bright spot
Find a spot with bright indirect light to place your vessel for a few weeks. Avoid too much direct sunlight. Change the water every 7-10 days. You should see roots starting to appear in the first week or two.
Step 4: Move to soil
We like to let new roots grow a couple of inches before transferring the cutting to a pot with soil. Once that happens, plant your rooted vine in well-draining soil, like a standard potting mix. Water and care for your plant as normal.
Pothos are fast-growing plants, especially went placed in well-lit areas. So propagating them is usually a satisfying experiment that will boost your plant care confidence!
