How to Propagate Scindapsus from Node Cutting

What to do with when your plants get too long or leggy?  When it comes to Scindapsus/ Pothos, you can easily cut each leaf section between the leaves leaving ~ 1" on each side.  

Let the section callous over for a few hours and then you're ready to propagate.

You can use water propagation but there's a higher chance that the piece may rot.

We prefer using either sphagnum moss or orchid soil mix.

The first step it take any old take-out plastic container (with lid) and clean well.  Make sure no food residue is left.  Use a soldering iron to make vent holes but if you don't have one, you can use a tweezer or sharp knife to make some slits/ holes on the side or top.  1-2 holes is adequate.

If using moss, soak sphagnum moss and give it a good squeeze to remove excess moisture.  Use a thin layer of moss and set your node cutting on top.  Cover with lid and set in a warm, bright indirect spot.  Check every few days and mist moss if dry.

If using soil, set node on top of soil and lightly mist soil but not soaking wet.  Check soil every few days and mist as needed.

In a few weeks, you'll notice the node will start rooting and eventually the latent node will start to grow sending out new leaf.  We recommend 1-2 months before repotting into a 2" pot with quick draining soil.  

Happy Propagating!
