Brief guide on how to plant Golden Pothos

These vibrant plants are low-maintenance, easy to care for, can adapt to a range of lighting conditions, and relish regular watering. Also, they bounce back steadily even if you water them every once in a while. 

These indoor-friendly variety support vines up to 10 feet long, so you may wish to prune the vines every once in a while to keep their size under control.

How to prune Golden Pothos Professionally: 

You can prune your Golden Pothos plant by taking cuttings from the stem. It would help if you always cut the vine a few inches above each leaf. The region where the leaf joins the vine is called a node, and post-pruning, the queen plant will send out a new vine in that field. 

Take care not to leave any leafless vines. Reiterate the same process with each vine, and the results are visually pleasing to you. If you want to do light pruning, you can take tip cuttings on whatever vines are too long.

How to propagate Golden Pothos like an expert gardener:

Golden Pothos is easy to propagate by stem cuttings. It is a great way to reuse any cuttings you take during pruning that can help create a fuller-looking plant by planting the cuttings back in the original pot. Else, you can use the cuttings to grow new plants and share them with your friends. 

Follow these steps to propagate your Golden Pothos with stem cuttings: 

• Take stem cuttings from an established plant with at least 4-5 nodes each. 
• Remove the bottom 2-3 leaves from each cutting, leaving at least two leaves at the top of each cutting.
• Fill a small glass or jar with water and place the cuttings in the water, ensuring that the exposed nodes on the bottom of the cuttings are submerged while the leaves remain above water. 

• Place the cuttings in a location that receives medium to bright indirect light, and change the water once a week to ensure it stays fresh. 
• Roots should begin forming within a week or so. Once they are at least an inch long, you can transfer the cuttings back to the soil. 
• Remove the cuttings from the water and carefully pot them in a pre-moistened, well-draining soil mixture. 
• Place the freshly potted cuttings back in the same spot, and maintain the soil moistness for the first 1 to 2 weeks after repotting to help the roots acclimate to the mud.  
• After about two weeks, a regular watering schedule for the cuttings can be cared for as it establishes the start of the Golden pothos family.
