# My pothos is almost reaching the ground.. if I propagate the ends is…

_Geplaatst door Laura op 2023-06-11_

My pothos is almost reaching the ground.. if I propagate the ends is there a certain way to make the cut? Angle or straight across? I want the vines to continue to grow after cutting but not sure if that’s possible. Any help is appreciated!!

Cut at an angle underneath a node. Leave a few leaves on the stem that you’re propagating ideally. The mother plant should continue to grow leaves after you’ve cut it!

So you cut underneath the node and then on the cutting trim it to above the node right ?

### Anya reageerde op 2023-06-11

Yep that should work! 😊

Thanks! I’m kind of sad to cut her but being on the ground doesn’t sound good to me

That’s what I was thinking too.. might as well. Awhile back a bad storm knocked it down and busted the pot, damaging some of the leaves so I thought to also cut it there such as this one.

I cut them to a length I like then cut every leaf off by the nodes and put all the stems in water. Each leaf propegates a new brand then you can replant. I’ve done this many times and the mother plant always keeps going. Great way to gift my crazy white pothos to friends who want one. About that time for me as well

I have enough that I think I may try both ways! (Cutting each leaf by the node vs cutting leaving 2-3 leaves on each cutting) because I want to kind of experiment with this being my first time. Your n’joy in SO CUTE! I have one too but it’s new and not near that big at all and for awhile was not happy inside so I moved outside.. Thanks for the advice!

Should I use the rooting hormone or pass?
