Money Plant Propagation: Grow Free Plants at Home

Multiply Your Green Luck

Money Plant (Pothos) is the easiest plant to propagate. If you already have one vine, you can create gifts, fill empty shelves, and grow a fuller mother plant.

What You Need

• Clean scissors or pruners
• A healthy vine with visible nodes
• A glass jar or small pot
• Fresh water or light potting mix

Water Propagation Steps

1. Cut a 10–15 cm piece just below a node
2. Remove the lower leaf near the cut
3. Place the node in water, keeping leaves above water
4. Keep in bright indirect light
5. Change water every 3–4 days
6. Pot once roots are 3–5 cm long

Soil Propagation Steps

1. Take the same node cutting
2. Dip the cut end in cinnamon or rooting hormone (optional)
3. Plant in moist, well-draining mix
4. Keep lightly humid for 1–2 weeks
5. Water gently when the top feels dry

Success Tips

• Always include at least one node—leaves alone won’t root
• Avoid harsh sun on new cuttings
• Don’t overcrowd jars; one to three cuttings is enough
• Once potted, wait before heavy fertilizing

Why Propagate?

• Free plants for family and friends
• Fuller hanging baskets
• Backup plants if one vine struggles

Propagation turns one purchase into a continuous green habit.
