# Hi everyone! I’m in dire need of some help! I’ve had this Satin…

Hi everyone! I’m in dire need of some help!  
I’ve had this Satin Pothos for a couple years now and it keeps loosing leaves and large stems. I was hoping yall could help me figure out the best way to propagate it. I’m not sure the best places to cut or the best methods to get successful propagations and would love some tips :)  
Thank you in advance :)

Cut after the nodes but only a little (little root like bits on the stem ) then use water or (I prefer using rooting hormone) and it should be ok

Cut between nodes ( the points where leaves grow/previously grew). I prefer to put them a prop box, especially for wet sticks, which is just a clear container with damp spaghagum moss. Good luck and lmk if you have more questions

Correct me if I’m mistaken but in between the blue lines look like a node.

I only use fluval startum for scindapsus! The only thing that works for me, but keep in mind that they are pretty slow to root so dont panic if nothing is happening for a while 😇

Here I've used green arrows to point out nodes, with a close up for reference, and red marks show some possible cuts. Cut marks are at ideal distance to each node, and i placed them to keep leaves and sacrifice a bit of stem in bewteen each kept section. I haven't raised pothos before, but the general rules work for many plants
