Hey fam, guess who bought another pothos! ๐Ÿ˜œ Just got this beauty today from the local nursery๐Ÿ˜ Her name is Billie ๐Ÿคฉ she's very thick and I'm thinking of splitting her in half so I get two new plants for the price of one ๐Ÿค” this one is pretty root bound and I'm scared of hurting her if I split her in two - what do y'all suggest? Also, not sure sure if you can tell but in the photo of the very bottom roots, towards the center circle I think I saw some white fuzziness happening ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Looks like some mold was forming here. The roots don't stink at all, so thankfully I don't think there's root rot. Any suggestions on how to prevent the mold from spreading before I repot? Or on what to do about the roots being so bound? Or any suggestions on general about anything of concern that you see (that I probably missed)? I'm going to keep her as is until I get some advice from y'all, my experts! ๐Ÿ˜† Thank you!!!!

    while iโ€™m FAR from a professional, i would be TERRIFIED to split it given how packed the roots are ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚ again no professional but Id thoroughly clean the roots before repotting, and assuring you choose a pot at least 1-2โ€ wider to allow room for more growth! good luck woth whatever you choose!!

      Yeah, I'm no pro either ๐Ÿ˜… The consensus seems to be to leave Billie intact! ๐ŸŽ‰ I'll don't exactly have another pot that's only 1-2 inches bigger though. I have this but I think it might be too big. Thoughts?

      How exactly should I clean the roots?

      i would try to do as much as you can just rinsing them in water until youโ€™re able to see the root clearly, making sure you cut off any rot and maybe do a peroxide/water solution which you can find just by googling!

      also for pot, it it had drainage that should be good for the time being as long as thereโ€™s room for the roots to grow! you may just need a wider one next repotting if it spreads out

      Some of the soil came right out but the other sides are so bound in roots they aren't loosening easily ๐Ÿ˜ฌ what's a good way to loosen the roots from the soil without damaging them?

    Hello! This plant looks quite healthy, so I wouldnโ€™t split it if the roots are not easily able to be disentangled. I would just wipe the fuzz away as much as possible and repot as is. If you think about it, as it grows, youโ€™ll get more than two plants out of it if you keep propagating!

      Thank you so much! I will be keeping her intact and propagate later on ๐Ÿ˜„ do you think the gray pot above in the photo above is too big? She came in a 6 inch nursery pot and this is the best one I have at the house right now ๐Ÿค”

      What do we think? I couldn't get this side loose as much as the other? Will it be alright repotting leaving it like this?

      When I repot, I just loosen the roots as much as I can without hurting them, and plant it with whatever bits of soil and tangled roots are still there. So far, everyone has done fine.
