Cloning Pothos

So today is very exciting because my first attempt at growing new pothos from cuttings was a success! We are currently trying two methods, both are very simple. The first is cutting a leaf or two off, near the roots, and putting them in water and waiting. This method is slow but successful. It has been 8 days and we have the beginnings of new roots on all but one of our plants. The other method is slightly more complicated. We cut at least 2 leaves off at the root, and them trim the end off with a sterilized blade. Then dip this end in a cutting solution for 5-10 seconds and let it sit in a propagation solution. Both of these solutions were store bought and I will report on there effectiveness in a week. Pothos are very easy to grow from cuttings because they do not require a lot and they deal with change well. We will be cloning pothos in this way to get the plants for our hydroponics system. We are building it and designing now and I will discuss it more in later posts.
