# I have this beautiful healthy pothos that was an off shoot from my…

_Posted by Sully on 2025-11-12_

I have this beautiful healthy pothos that was an off shoot from my mother pothos. This one has been going for a few years but has this one vine that has produced like crazy from it. But I’m worried its spawn will get too heavy for the lone vine that is connecting it to the main plant and soil.

Should I cut the vine and plant what’s hanging from it, and start a new plant? Or should I just continually cut all the excess growth off it so it doesn’t get too heavy for it?

I’m a beginner. Thanks :)

I chop and prop ☺️ once the cuttings take root you can add them to the original pot to make it look fuller

I have cut long vines before from the mother plant. Where would you recommend cutting on this one? Should I cut the solo vine coming off the side of the pot there? And then divide up that cutting into smaller pieces? Or just 1 cut? Thanks for your reply :)
