I don’t want to kill it,… _Posted by Lamb on 2026-05-19_ Anyone have tips for propping a cebu pothos? I don’t want to kill it, but I want a fuller plant. I love my baby and want her to look lush and beautiful. I currently have my golden in a water prop post root rot that developed over winter, but I am trying to get fuller plants. I’ve propped my golden before so I’m wondering if it’ll be the same with this one. I don’t want to kill it. ## 8 comments ### Phil commented on 2026-05-19 They prop easily in water. Nothing special to do. But in the beginning I would bring trailing stems into the planter and anchor them down. They grew roots from the nodes on the stem. Eventually became too big and I gave it a massive trim. Gave many cuttings away to the neighbors. Pics are about a year ago and then last month, about. ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/lFOfIDTyQd2o-45KcV5EnQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OWAkyZxcZtwxk-v_HG7sG7i-GaZeWOFpvbl_VkIbhkY/EIMNtbqURf6FfcWyVkH8qQ.webp?size=large) #### Lamb replied on 2026-05-19 I should just be an able to trim it down and replant the cuttings in the same pot I assume. It’s looking sparse. #### Phil replied on 2026-05-19 I would loop the stem back into the pot and anchor it. If you can bend the stem. You don’t need to cut. ### plantgeek commented on 2026-05-19 cebu blue do great in water, just like golden ! if you're looking to put it right back in the soil, make sure you've watered first. if the soil is dry they have a hard time taking #### Lamb replied on 2026-05-19 I have never done it in soil. I’m scared to do it. I don’t want to kill anything. ### Chloe commented on 2026-05-20 I had mine in a hanging basket until it was big enough to start training up a pole but what I did to keep it fuller was sit vines with aerial roots on top of the soil without cutting them and eventually I knew they had rooted because you feel resistance when tugging on them and eventually I would cut them so there would be more new shoots. ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ndnjj6FYJF69Ze6yC5t-GKV0LdEqN4el42bSnM-cqyI/rQHfLm1HTJelijmg8HcoQw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ndnjj6FYJF69Ze6yC5t-GKV0LdEqN4el42bSnM-cqyI/MqsT4MQvRGCFHdPNU3zNVg.webp?size=large) #### Chloe replied on 2026-05-20 I now have mine on a pole which I recommend if you want nice big leaves, but I train the vines up and then back down the pole and once they are hanging over the pot I sit them in the soil for them to root and then train them back up the pole again as they grow more and so on lol. I barely need to use clips as the roots cling to the pole mostly on their own now, and randomly along the vines a new growth point will activate so it’s nice and full with no cutting required ![Attachment 1 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ndnjj6FYJF69Ze6yC5t-GKV0LdEqN4el42bSnM-cqyI/FI07SK4dRQONnzpWfY7lfA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ndnjj6FYJF69Ze6yC5t-GKV0LdEqN4el42bSnM-cqyI/kEY6wkyVQH2KSXvQGjYsaQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ndnjj6FYJF69Ze6yC5t-GKV0LdEqN4el42bSnM-cqyI/i7Um_RMcSTuFz-WwtMuUFw.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 4 of 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/ndnjj6FYJF69Ze6yC5t-GKV0LdEqN4el42bSnM-cqyI/cuLd8beFRnqYjaT1ipUQKA.webp?size=large) ### Gonelikefocus commented on 2026-06-24 Mine was trailing a lot so I just chopped some and stuck it back in the soil. It must’ve worked because., her head is full!! ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/TkFi0qZqYpjsmv20KDjF5UFD5mPY_max8K3SuoQeB_M/nc4JOBrLSqaXJmpMLgkBdA.webp?size=large) --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com).
