Propagating my pothos in water has been one of the most rewarding things in my plant mom journey haha, it’s almost guaranteed gratification, and it doesn’t need much. I don’t seal the open cuts, I don’t add fertilizer in the water, no misting… I just forget them in water and change the water once a week and in 2-3 weeks they have enough roots to be repotted. I am also propagating for the first time a heart leaf philodendron using the same method. and it is already showing some new roots. Im so happy! (ps: the two droopy leaves on the right vase are a cutting that I put into soil too soon, the cutting didn’t have any roots and I stuck it in soil to see if I could grow roots like that. It didn’t work for me and as soon as I noticed the leaves were dying I removed it from soil and put it back in water so it can properly root)

    I’ve been wanting to get new cuttings from my heart leaf philodendron too but I have never done it. I’ve been successful with pothos and verbena cuttings, but not philodendrons. Do you basically do the same thing? And do you just get a new cutting from a longer, more mature leaf/stem? thanks

      hey! The philodendron on the left is the first one I did too, and it worked really well just like the pothos. It’s full of roots already after a couple of weeks in tap water. Just remember to change the water every few days. I am not picky when choosing which part of the plant to cut, what I do actually is because these plants are toxic to dogs, so as soon as they get near the floor, I cut the longer ones down, so my dog can’t reach it. Then root them in water, then replant at the top of the pot. Or create new pots to give to friends if the top of the pot is already full :)
