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.
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.
I should just be an able to trim it down and replant the cuttings in the same pot I assume. It’s looking sparse.

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
1 likeI have never done it in soil. I’m scared to do it. I don’t want to kill anything.

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.
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
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!!
