What the studies tested

Results from growing trials, many of them in commercial greenhouses. They are not care instructions.

Care

Propagation

  • In one trial with four pothos cultivars, two-node cuttings taken from just below the vine tip rooted in 97 % of cases, two-node tip cuttings 15 percentage points less often.

    B IndirectMeasured on Epipremnum aureum and Epipremnum pinnatum

  • In one trial, pothos cuttings that kept a 6–8 mm stub of the old aerial root made more leaves within 55 days (4.5 against 3.5) and more fresh weight (8.3 against 5.4 g) than cuttings with the aerial root removed.
