There are so many laborious little details you go out of your way to include for the sake of being thorough, and I’m just letting you know I C U, and I appreciate that shit so much. I want to be able to watch your videos without feeling the need to comment on how great your hair and skin look, but alas. Here we are. Great video bb.
Haha thank you, I try to include important details. Sometimes they make the difference between a live plant and a dead one. :) Also, thank you for the compliment :)
@@phytosexual I really appreciate that you don't assume what the audience may or may not know about the topic of the video or plants in general. But at the same time it doesn't feel "dumbed down" if you know what I mean. As a newbie to the plant world, I find your videos super informative and fun! Thank you!
Weighing the pot is a great idea to determine if it needs water, never thought of that, makes a lot of sense & its an exact method, no guessing. Thanks
Until the plant grew more leaves, long vines and more roots then it's not gonna be reliable way to determine if it needs water coz I'm 101% sure the plant weight will double or triple or more.
Wow you can really tell that you have been taking care of plants your whole life because you actually have some new useful information and tips , instead of regurgitating the same social media plant “hacks” . Thanks Nick! Great video
I have accumulated tons of uncommon and common houseplants at this point, but i still find this video incredibly helpful! I always felt like I was pretty bad at repotting plants and combining smaller plants to make larger ones, but this really explained things quite well
literally stopping mid video to comment and say thank you SO much for this information! this is the kind of stuff i dont usually find from other people on youtube or maybe im not looking hard enough... who knows. i still really appreciate it. finally my plants may flourish!!!
This video was so informative. I’m been taking care of plants for over a year and I’m still learning. I just joined two golden pothos together correctly without knowing. Thank you!
Using a scale is a brilliant idea! I can kind of tell when to water by the weight of the pot, but using a scale would take all the guess work out of it! AWESOME! Thank-you!
I don't do that teasing and damaging thing either and have never had any problems with roots not growing out. Only time I've seen a plant's roots not growing out was with a few outdoor garden plants because they were planted in holes dug exactly to the size of the pot they were grown in and the soil was solid clay that dried out solid in summer and wet and airless during winter.
Great video! I use a scale to determine when to water with almost all my plants. For each plant, I document what it weighs dry & know when I approach that number, its time to water. I also bottom-water most of my plants.
This was so informative. I was pondering mixing different pothos together or mixing pothos with Phil to make a fuller pot, but your idea would work too.
Putting different pathos together will work, but be aware some are faster growers than others. You may have to keep some trimmed so they don't outcompete others.
Hi Nick. I am two years late, but I am just seeing this now, and probably because I have been researching how to care for N ' joy and Jades and Pearls pothos. I just received two 4-inch N'joys and one 4-inch Jade Pothos in the mail today! So, your video is very helpful to me. Thank you so much for sharing with us! 🌷🌴
I enjoyed your video and subscribed. You’ve got me interested in collecting all the different varieties of pothos now. I’ll try to catch up on all your previous videos. Hope you continue to create and influence!
Hi Nick! Just catching up on some of your older videos. Congrats on 10K subscribers 🥳 Thanks for another informative video. Never thought of using the scale to determine watering needs. Great idea! Out of all my pathos, my pearls and jade is the slowest grower.
I...think I screamed when I saw that golden pothos in the wild omfg i had No Idea they grew that large and got fenestrations. And now I'm wondering about whether or not you could give a houseplant the ideal conditions and get a fenestration, eventually. Although, the largest golden pothos leaves ive seen are probably only about 10 inches long
my pothos are growing so slowly but i recently threw them directly under a grow light so hopefully it gets a bit fuller so i can get one of these nice bushy baskets
New subscriber here. Thanks for the informative vid. So many tips. Will be doing this next season as I'm impatient with my very slow growing Enjoy and Marble queen.
Everything I've read about golden pothos says they love direct sunlight. They just tolerate low level very well so I think people assume they are low light plants.
Pearls and Jades/N'Joy are difficult to keep alive. I lost four beautiful huge trailing ones. They like Spring and Summer weather. Putting them outside is the only way I could save the few cuttings I was able to scrape together.
Great idea to grow a nice full pot of pothos. I've been telling my husband that I want to plant a pothos under one of my palm trees to that it can grow massive with fenestrations. Are you in Florida as well?
I have two papa’s under lamps that are growing well. I’ve only had them at a month and a half I guess I now want to put some in my plant stand so they will start to grow and hang which will be beautiful in my den. It will be in low light. It will be under a lamp it stays on all the time, but do I need to get another type lamp or some light. It will help it to grow faster. I do not want to lose this plant. That’s why I decided on Pothos.
i just got a lil 4in manjula, but it has a lot of browning on the leaves. i noticed yours had a bit too; does it still have that issue or did it go away after the plant established?
I know this is a very old video but I just bought a neon pothos and it arrived from the nursery with one stem broken, my son wanted one because he really liked the color, so I took a couple of leaves off and put it in water to root, nothing odd. But a week or so later I looked and it rotted, why? It has another stem but now I don't know if I should cut it off and try again or order him a full plant. I can't find any information on why this happened. My regular marble queen I've rooted like that for years and also in soil conected to the mother plant. I've had it in all different lights and the worst its done to me is revert back to green. Another question will the green revert back to marbled if I move it into more light? Is the neon very different?
Its the same with spider plants. They looooveeee full sun. I hate seeing all these poor, anaemic, scraggly spider plants in the shade everywhere. Put.them.in.the.sun.please.can’t.you.see. 😂
When I was small, around five, in sunny Australia, I put a spider plant baby in a gap between the concrete and dads shed. Fully exposed position. I think it was winter. Anyways it was well established by the time summer rolled around. Because it never got watered and by the time i was 12 it was a literal column of spider plant six feet high. If you dug on the other side of the pathway you’d find roots thicker than a child’s wrist. The main plant was hard to differentiate but when we chopped it down there was a stem about 15cm diameter in the middle. I recently posted a pic of my two year old spider plant on a local group and everyone’s losing their damn minds about how huge and monstrous it is. It’s really not, in my opinion. It just has a nice skirt of babies. I should make a RUclips video lol. Inbox me if you want to interview me 😂
@@smallbeginning2 Adored the story from Down Unda! 😉 Everything really is bigger in the land of Oz. LOL Do tell your growing secrets regarding your apparently healthy two year old spider plant besides no water and lots of sun. It would be fascinating to learn and yes, you do need to make a video! 😉👍🏼
@@nichelle6058 well I only water it when the leaves start to close and look slightly wonky. And then give an absolute drenching. I do feed the, regularly with liquid fertilizer and slow release as well. I always use lots of perlite in pots. Because the roots are so big and tuberous it compacts the soil so I regularly squeeze the pots or dig around with a chopstick. I keep my spider plants (I must have fifteen) off the floor in a place where the babies can hang , like on a shelf, chair, or stand. I now live in Europe so they’re outside in full sun whenever the temperature gets over 15 or so and with soft overnight temperatures too. They don’t like cold. I don’t think. Never tested it. I keep my favorite in the sunniest inside spot I have. The others can get by with less but they won’t get as full and won’t produce as many babies. As a rule I avoid letting them get very pot bound. The bigger the root system, the more babies.
Question: I bought a pothos which had about 4 leaves on it but only one of them has vines out is there a way to make my plant more bushy and full or do I need to buy another pothos to put onto the same pot
The quickest would be to buy another. If the vine gets a few nodes in length you can always cut it off and put it in water and plant it back in once it roots. Or you can twist the vine back around into the soil when it gets long enough and let it set roots in the soil! Hope this helps :)
Hi there!! I am a new plant mom Ive been having a golden pothos since 2022 and I want to repot it but I don’t know what por size I need to put it in. It’s been on its original 3qt hanging pot it was really root bond.. please help
this is one plant that gives me such a hard time. it’s really green and lush when i but it then it fades to a not so vibrant green 😢 it’s in a nursing pot. i think i’m over watering the tips are brown. i want a long vine…damn it…
Hi! I missed where your plant hunting video link is? I watch on my husband's account (hopgoblin) I'm learning/watching from frozen ND...Instagram tamgnd
BTW, just did this.... wrong. I put them in the center. Wish I'd watched this first. I love your background info on plants. I totally nerd out over all your fact bombs.

Don't forget to re-weigh after watering each time because plants get heavier as they grow.
@@skadaddleskadoodle833 thank-you!! I would not have thought of that either!!
Love how you explain things and make it into “common sense”.
I try!
You and your channel are going to be huge!
Wait ... pothos lives split when they're large and mature ?!? seriously blew my mind
Yup ❤️ happens even quicker when u grow them on a moss pole
Ohhh boi .. u said "M-Grow" the plant snobs are going to 'Come 4 U'
Beanze Tawkes Sorry, I don’t have time to make bespoke potting mixes for pothos 🤣
@@phytosexual Stahhhppp! LOL
@@phytosexual Haha..."bespoke potting mixes"
Really? Please share why that is. I'm a new plant parent and need to know these things.about soil.
@@bathos22 I would guess accessibility and price.
Clever weight hack, for those that might over water. So getting my mom a scale. Lol
Glad i could help!
Loved the tip.
It will keep getting heavier as it grows leaves and roots, the scale method is kinda not efficient
Where do I find a scale like this? Thanks
I don't do that teasing and damaging thing either and have never had any problems with roots not growing out.
Only time I've seen a plant's roots not growing out was with a few outdoor garden plants because they were planted in holes dug exactly to the size of the pot they were grown in and the soil was solid clay that dried out solid in summer and wet and airless during winter.
It is almost always exclusively done for outdoor shrubs/trees with woody roots that can girdle the plant.
love seeing the clips of mature plants of those lil guys we grow at home!
Me too 💚

holy crap i've never seen pothos in the wild, i didn't know they get so freaking massive, thats wild
This is why digital kitchen scales were invented. 👍🏻 • Glad to see you recommending this weigh-to-water technique! 😊
I love your chill energy

Can I be here secondly just for your eyebrows ❤️
They’re actually just two really well trained caterpillars, but thank you. I’ll pass along the compliment 💚

I had no idea that pothos eventually got fenestrations! That photo from Hawaii blew my mind
Awww, marble queen
I've been binging all your videos in no particular order and it seems like your resentment of pothos is a more recent development 🤔🤭
I just have other plants I'm more interested in...
I enjoyed everything about this video, thanks 💖

Yes, same with sansevieria if you want it to grow 2" a year.
Thanks for the much need information, Nick!🌱
Another great and educational video. Wish my plants had such good growth. They tend to start off well and then blah :-(
Thank you!
I'm not even making a basket but I love your videos
Pearls and Jades/N'Joy are difficult to keep alive. I lost four beautiful huge trailing ones. They like Spring and Summer weather. Putting them outside is the only way I could save the few cuttings I was able to scrape together.
Great idea to grow a nice full pot of pothos. I've been telling my husband that I want to plant a pothos under one of my palm trees to that it can grow massive with fenestrations. Are you in Florida as well?
Nope, Pothos are however invasive so be careful to contain it maybe.
Fantastic,thanks
no problem!
Nice! Question: Does your Neon Pothos have slightly variegated leaves? Mine does, and I don´t know if they always do?
Every now and then a little streak will show up.
It’s normal, never had a neon pothos that didn’t occasionally put out variegation :)
Ok, good to know 🙂
I like the idea of using scale. Good idea.
Glad you like it!
Thank you so very much!!
No problem.
The whole plant community has been dragging that tiktok girl and I love it!

I think it should be fine, and naturally more light = more growth indoors.
Such a genius idea. Going to weigh all my plants
i just got a lil 4in manjula, but it has a lot of browning on the leaves. i noticed yours had a bit too; does it still have that issue or did it go away after the plant established?
Those sleeves died off after a while, but highly variegated leaves tend to do that.

This is a great video! Thank you!
No problem :)
What region do you live in? Wondering how dramatically latitude affects light.
Is it ok that the new potting soil I'm using is different from the soil that the plants originally came in?
Should be fine, nursery soil is usually to water retentive to pot in.
Question: I bought a pothos which had about 4 leaves on it but only one of them has vines out is there a way to make my plant more bushy and full or do I need to buy another pothos to put onto the same pot

If I want to keep pothos in a small pot how do I prevent the plant from getting root bound?
At some point you'll need to trim the plant and the roots.
