# Hello:)👋 I have a golden potho that I cut back for the first time…

Hello:)👋 I have a golden potho that I cut back for the first time about a month ago. I was wondering if I cut it correctly and if she will continue to grow from where I cut it? 😬

It won't grow from directly where you cut it if I'm not mistaken, however, it will encourage new growth 😊 I do this with mine to encourage bushier growth 💚 pruning is a great way to encourage new shoots/growth, I also propogate the cuttings meaning more plants! Win win! 🤗

Thank you, and encourage new growth where ? Just from the other vines that I didn’t cut or?? I

You should halfway between the nodes because the cut area often dries down or yellows.
