Propagating pothos
Propagating pothos

I have made many attempts at propogating
my pothos ivy plant with no success!! I
know it is fairly easy, so I've heard. I
am not sure what is going wrong, but I
do have an idea. I think I probably am
not cutting the stem at the correct
place. Or it could be that i am not
being patient enough and giving up too
soon. I am on my third shoot in about 5
months to no avail. Could anyone please
offer some tips as to how to do this and
as to where exactly I should cut the
stems from. Any and as much info would
be greatly appreciated.

Nodes are key
Nancy: You just have to make sure that

you get a node or two submerged into the
water. The node is where the leaf
attaches to the stem. When you take your
cutting, remove the leaf as close to the
stem as possible, and submerge that
portion (the node) into the water. They
do only root from those nodes. Good
luck!!-
