      I like getting houseplant cuttings from Etsy. It's a way to support nice houseplant enthusiasts and it's usually an affordable way to try several varieties. I especially love the marble queen, neon pothos thrives in bright light, and N'Joy has interesting variegation.

      Satin pothos!...received one from Etsy a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I killed it within a week. It arrived in good health but became a tossed salad in the mail, so I replanted it immediately. I think I should have held back watering because it developed root rot a few days later. So sad...it was such a beautiful plant with soft, fuzzy leaves! I managed to salvage some very small cuttings and I am attempting to root at least one in water. Not sure it will make it.

    When I lost my daugther, got a whole bunch of plant arrangements. I knew nothing about plants then, so everything had died, except for this 1 leaf of pothos that my mom propagated in a little vase of water. I was so afraid to lose it and so I never touched it. That 1 leaf and a bunch of roots survived for 11 years, I finally planted it in a pot of soil recently. 3 leaves so far ☺️🥰

I went on vacation and didn’t water it for 2 weeks…watered when I got home and half the leaves turned yellow/brown and died. Cut those off - repotted because the soil seemed parched and now the soil is molding and and plant looks like death. Going to try to cut up the survivors and propagate and start fresh! Fingers crossed! It was so pretty when I got it.

    This was a great video!!! Subscribing now! My grandma is an Ohio/Florida snowbird that likes to collect native vines and air plants in the winter. I’ve always admired a beautiful two-toned yellow and white pothos plant that she had scavenged and potted. She would just leave it outside her trailer when she would come back to Ohio in the spring and it was still kicking when she got back in October. Last summer she brought it back to put by the pool for the summer. It turned completely yellow and started looking unhappy. She told me to take it home to see if I could rehab it. I stuck it on a balcony ledge in my house where it gets no direct light and most of the plant has turned a beautiful dark jade green . I have a vine that’s 13 feet long! It’s my favorite of all my plants and I propagated plants for my kids to take with them someday. Hopefully we’ll all always have a part of my grandmas Florida jungle scavenge! 😜♥️

    I had a Pothos when I was in college in the United States that I started from a cutting from a friend. His house looked alot like your house - lots of different plants inside. I don't know the name of the variety but it was variegated green and white. Some leaves had big patches of solid green or white and other patches of mottled green and white. It put up with a bit of abuse - forgetting to water it at times, I dont remember ever fertilizing or potting it on and it grew long vines - 6 to 8 feet - and never dropped a leaf. I gave it back to my friend when I returned to Canada after college and he was pleased by its growth too.

    I have always had several pothos throughout my house, the most recent house I moved into they have completely halted growth. Not dying, but not growing either. Plenty of light, no change in watering, it’s really weird.

    My favorite variety of pothos is a tie between the silver satin and the Manjula (Harlequin) pothos. Pothos 'N Joy is also really cool with the high contrast of white and dark green variegation.

    Hello Kevin, fantastic information, did not know that about the pothos not flowering. My favorite is the Marble queen, mine is pretty big, But, this past summer I found a 4 inch pot of Manjula, wasn't sure what it was at first. I found it at walmart- marked as Pearls and Jade, which I also have a huge one and a small one. One I found 2 weeks ago at our nursery- it is a neon marble queen? , so pretty. Looks just like a marble queen but bright neon green, and variegated. Okay maybe I do not have a favorite, love them all! Happy growing!

    Hello! Two things: which soil would you recommend from a store like Lowe’s? And also, do pothos need to be moved to a bigger pot as they grow? Especially if we re-add clippings? Or can they stay in the same hanging basket and conform to its home?

    • @mellocancan
      @mellocancan 2 года назад +1

      Organic soil. You don't have to move to a bigger pot they thrive when root bound. You can take clippings and just pin it down in the dirt of the same pot or can propagate it in a new pot. Just take a clipping and put it in water. When you see roots growing you can put it in soil.

I now use it in my Betta fish bowl and it has about ten leaves. Also today my Mom got a package in the mail from my great grandmother and it had seven pothos plants! Two of them are the gorgeous marble queen which I have been wanting for so long. The rest I think are all golden pothos. I am not sure on two of them because It is just stems but they are alive. I put them in water with the smaller pothos from the bunch and now I just have to wait. They are so amazing and beautiful! I love them so much. I cannot wait to start propagating them and have my own pothos jungle in my bathroom and in my fish bowls. Hehehe. I have four fish bowls. I can't wait to have marble queens in them too.

    I have a pothos that I brought for my fish tank. Lots of people out the roots in the tank and then let them trail. But not matter how I try the pothos just isn’t doing well. It’s lost all but 3 of its leaves and since I brought it and hasn’t grown in length at all. I’ve tried fertilising the tank, moving into more light, less light. Didn’t help. I’ve put it in soil, put it on my window ledge because I read that they like bright light, didn’t help. Moved it more into shade because some people said that direct light burns them, didn’t make any difference. I’m at my wits end and just don’t know what to do because everyone says these plant are so easy to grow and sooo hardy and so great and yet the one I’ve got is 2 leaves away from being dead!

That bathroom didn't have windows at the time and had a definite mildew smell I needed to get rid-of. I had read that certain plants clean the air so I went with a few Neon Pothos. I loved the size and colors of the leaves, ease of care and the fact that the plant didn't need much light. I later had to add a small fan for ventilation because the plant's health started going downhill, but with the Neon Pothos I also noticed within a couple of days of purchasing that the bathroom no longer had a mildew smell!
