New Pothos owner here đ My neighbor propagated a Golden Pothos and gifted the well grown cuttings that are still in water. I wan to plant it in a pot, but Iâm not sure what soil mix I should use, how big the pot needs to be, and asking for any other helpful tips. Please help this gal, I donât want to kill this pretty plant
Hey! The pot size people normally try to pick a pot 1 to 2 inches bigger than the root ball. Pothos arenât to picky about soil but Iâd definitely get a house plant mix that has drainage like has per light in it for sure! To help it get some air to its roots! Pothos are a great starter plant! They are very forgiving so as long as you donât overwater or underwater them they are pretty happy plants! So youâre gonna do so great with them! You got this!

The cutting is large, but, the roots are small comparatively. I would start with a 5 - 6 inch wide pot. Try fitting the roots in a 5 inch pot, first. There should be a little room to grow. Use a tropical houseplant potting mix with lots of perlite for good drainage. đȘŽđ

Op! I was gonna say I do a 4â pot for my cuttings (and they had hella roots on them this time) maybe Iâm going too small on my first pots? Did a marble pothos a month ago that seems ok, and just repotted a few manjula cuttings last night (that were DESPERATELY needing potting!!)
0 J'aime Iâm assuming you are putting all the cuttings in one pot to get a full pot of several vines. So a 5â or 6â pot could hold all the vines. đȘŽđ
