Ohmygosh this is perfect timing. A few months ago, a group of girl scouts at the middle school I work at gifted all the teachers a bunch of plants they planted, and I took home a pothos. I'd never owned one before, BUT SHE IS THRIVING AND HAS SO MUCH GROWTH. After struggling with succulents for years, this was the first time I felt genuinely happy and fulfilled as a plant parent. Simultaneously I finally visited my local nursery for the first time this week, and they have so many different pothos varieties! AND NOW I WANT TO FILL MY ROOM WITH POTHOS lol. So thank you so much for this video!!!!!!
I have a neon pothos and it is literally the most unmurderable plant ever. I do not need it to grow any faster. It already obstructs several areas in my kitchen and toilet room and some leaves are as big as my whole hand. It is very old, the first one I have had for over 20 years and I transferred cut off leaves to several new pots, they all rooted and survived. I usually only water when the leaves are starting to get „soft“ and hang to the ground. That takes several weeks! You will have no trouble going on vacation with this one, you can leave it alone for a very long time.
@@kateoc8 Middle of Europe. Pothos do not like cold temperatures, but mine are inside, so the weather does not matter I think. The coldest it got for them was about 15°C (59° Fahrenheit) in my bathroom. Did you water them too often? Because that is one thing that can kill them. Now that you mention it, the plant did not very well at my mother‘s who usually does have a green thumb whereas I do not. Maybe the key to success with Pothos is ignoring them a lot…
These are interesting comments. I’ve grown these for years and have a mother plant decades old now, leaves quite big or so I thought…until I saw them growing in the Caribbean, near water, in the shade. Rivers edge actually. The leaves were huuuge!!! I put mine in pots that I water from the bottom and my pothos pots are not in the window or against a wall. They seem to thrive on a shelf where the vines can hang.
@@julietteferrars3097 if you have a sump, you can put it there as long as it does get some ambient light, or you can put them on aquarium plant hangers that submerges their roots on top of the aquarium.
My pothos grow like weeds just using regular potting soil. 1 plant has spawned 4 other full, large pots and those spawned 3 more with 16 cuttings waiting on roots in a little more that a year. They get tons of light in the afternoon, more than most people say to use. I also have the same 3 types you have and they are all in my window.
Hello there!! Thanks for a brilliant, informative video as usual. I've got two pothos 'ssss😂 they are my favourite plants ❤ I've told them that you have done a video about them😂😂😂 mine are doing great❤ have a great weekend
Great advice as always🙌. I’ve been currently potting up similiar plants with each other to save space( to make room for more plants🤣) and I love the look of a full pot with different plants. I always share the cuttings with family and friends and hopefully there will be some plant swaps near me soon! I have a huge marble queen pothos on a wooden pole and her leaves are huge, I bought her that way last year so I can’t take the credit, but she’s alive and 😊 happy. Have a great weekend.
I live in the US, and love your content, I don’t know if it’s a southern thing here but people pronounce calathea (cal-A-thee-uh. Since I’ve been watching your videos habitually, I’ve been accidentally pronounceing them the way you do (cal-uh-thee-uh) 😂now I’m gonna start getting weird looks for saying *Pophos* if I watch more videos about them.
I'm growing pothos, as well as other plants, roots in my fish tank. They call it a riparium . The pothos is throwing leaves that are the size of my hand. I'm hoping my pothos will get as tree-like as my brother in law's pothos his is 10 years old. They love the grow lights and ,to stay with the theme, I put a decorative fishnet up to weave the plants through. they are responding well to the " trellis" substitute.
I just repotted my large Pothos yesterday that I have had for many years. I wanted to pin my stems down with bobby pins, but I don't use them. I asked my husband if he anything to pin my stems down, he looked at me like I was nuts, 🤣. I kept thinking what I can use till I had this brilliant idea. I keep a small stash of those clip-on plastic hangers that the nurseries put on their hanging pots. Don't know why I saved them, but glad I did. I snipped off the clips at the bottom and used those to pin down my pothos stem. It worked great.
I still can't get over the fact that an adult golden pothos basically looks like a yellow monstera variegata. Once I saw an absolutely stunning adult specimen at the local garden center but it wouldn't fit in my car... or so I keep on telling myself :D
What a beautiful arrangement of color. I love all the information about all the different plants you have. This trip I got my turkey baster and some popsicle sticks for name tags. Today is the day that I'm tackling my snake plant, dividing into smaller pots and deciding what I'm going to propagate. I have found some spider mites but I know what to do thanks to you. There is also some weird marks that you would never guess what they are on the plant. CAT BITES! That's right, nice eh. My question today is....I noticed in your house tour you had a round glass container with succulents in it, with a smaller hole on top, how do you water this without getting the plants wet? I planning a similar display and was wondering. From a Canadian loving these video's. Love and Peace.
Wow those plants look gorgeous put together! I love it! Hey... a good idea for a video might be you showing us your best selections for bottom watering planters and where to buy them? You have a lovely selection, they're hard to find here in the states, the ones on Amazon all look the same.
Hey, I've been watching a lot of UA-cam videos about fertilizing plants, but none of them really go into detail about how to do it without burning the roots. It seems like it should be easy, but when it comes to Calatheas (and I'm guessing other plants), it's not. Can you make a video about the basics of fertilizing all plants, or at least Calatheas? I'd really appreciate it!❤
I love your videos, entertaining and informative! I’m listing over your window shelf that the pothos was on. Can you please share more details about where you bought it or how you made it. I’d love something like this…seriously running out of space! Eek! Thanks for all your work.
It said pothos was the fastest growing vine so i got one to grow on my stairwell railing. It has not grown a singular centimeter. It always looks happy tho at least. 😅
To propagate pothos you must look for tiny little brown "knobs" on the stems usually. From how I understood it from other videos, they're aerial roots, which can develop into roots when put into water. I tried it with my pothos and it was exactly those knobs that developed into roots, so I guess the videos didn't lie to me.
Another tip on vining plants is cutting is actually good for them. My 5 year old pothos is nice and bushy from me trimming off the vines as soon as they get to my desired length. Keeps him from dropping all those root close leaves for fear of dying 😂 it works well on my other vine plants too
This is a non-plant-related question: what video equipment do you use? The quality is great, as is the editing, which is an art. Thanks for being an informative and diverting break in my days. 😊
@@SheffieldMadePlants I think I over watered my plants (devils I’ve and pony tail palm). By using the underwater method. How long are you supposed to keep the plant soaking in the water?
On outside: the heat also plays a role as far as I can tell. Some plants will grow faster in hotter weather, which for most people, is during the summer outside. Vs... mine generally grow faster inside, including pothos. I live in San Francisco, which has cold weather from the ocean and other conditions that result in an average year round temp between like 55 and 65 -- aka inside is generally a bit warmer in the high 60s/low 70s. I'm partially gotten into vivariums because I can heat them and see the plant grow via that.
What if you’re using a coconut coir, coconut husk chunks with maybe some soil and fertilizer instead of moss in there? It seems like it would work and be clean. Or like an aroid mix in the pole? I’m super new to plants and in my brain it seems like it would work
My suggestion with the pole is to use a layer of moss in the “front” then fill the rest with whatever you’re working with. Common feedback seems to be that stuff just falls out otherwise. It seems moss pole experiments are catching on. Even my local plant shop was working on some different filling media. I think everyone wants to reduce their sphagnum consumption.
Brown and crispy or brown and mushy? If crispy, try watering, if mushy, you probably overwatered it. Orchids show whether they have enough water instantly, because their white roots start looking green when you water them.
I've got the devil's ivy and the yellow one you showed at the beginning, people keep telling me it's a philodendron, I thought it was a pothos, please confirm. 👍
I bought this neon pothos I put it in the garden an burnt the leaves so cut the bad leaves off it’s not a happy bunny at the moment. Put in on a windowsill low light an water it 1-2 week
@@SheffieldMadePlants experiment on a smaller plant, we have attached an elk plant to a tree trunk in our yard with nylon panty hose, eventually it's roots will self attach to the tree, I'm not sure tho, I'm going to experiment to see if this works. 1 fill nylon with soil and put inside the cylinder, 2 nylon on the outside, test what may work best.... Oooh cheers for answering :)
I have a large epinembrium that grows up on a plastic pole with coco fibres wrapped around it but since there are also roots growing up the pole do i then also have to pour water down the pole so all the roots get equal water?
I don't like pothos that strings around a window like a scrawny party streamer...so i wrapped my growing stems around in the pot (which has no drainage)...its about 35 or 40 years old now ..maybe older and still looks like new... but looks like a full plant not green spaghetti.
My Silver pothos has curled leaves. I need to check for spider mites because it’s been a month since I have returned from holiday and the leaves are still curled and yellowing leaves.
Give them bright indirect light. Allow to climb. Prune and Propagate. Feeding isn't serious, but they do love the brightest light you can muster. Direct light may burn, especially white varigated types. Neons with too much nitrogen and light go darker green. Vines are really a lil high maintenance, but you'll always have something to trade.
Hi first of all thanks for giving us good information about plants second I have a question about my plant it has some black spots on the leaves what is the reason pls
LMAO and i thought i was the only crazy person who has been experimenting with soil poles 😂 TRUST me soil poles are the future! (anyway gotta go back to dusting ....)
Got my pothos hanging in our south facing living room window, gets SO much sun and it's out of control dangling blogging the view for the plant hanging underneath it.
My ≈6” satin pothos was doing pretty well until recently. My jade plant gave her fungus gnats. So, I watered her with the recommended 1:4 dilution of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Five days later, she’s wilted and sagged, and her leaves have shriveled a bit. Did I make a mistake? Will she recover? What should I do?
good tips Thanks but don't use this hair pins it'll suffocate your plant's stem there are wider and bigger pins better and easier to use and it'll not suffocate it Thanks for the video
I have a neon pothos its just one stem dangling over the edge of the pot, I want to do that 'nodes in soil' thing but it'll snap if i bend its one stem that much around. Im scared to mess with it, I'm not much of a gardener. Its first leaf went yellow and died a few days ago, I think pot is holding the wetness too long but i don't know. Its been in pot 2 years, would it be time to repot it?
First check the soil moisture. You can do this by sticking a chopstick and if it comes really damp, then maybe you could be over watering it. If u do suspect root rot, unpot it ASAP. Then repot it in well draining soil and a nursery pot with holes. You can propogate the stems in water or soil. I prefer soil as it roots faster for me in it and perlite is not available here. Hope this helps😊😊.
@@poisongoddess101 I barely water it, but the soil stays wet for a long time. Maybe pot is too big. I think I'll propogate the stems in soil, that sounds like the way to go. Thanks for the advice
If the pot is too big than the football then it is prone to getting over watered and root rot. If u do have this issue then u should probably repot or propogate. Happy Gardening 😊
I do not have a pothos so I don’t know…..they don’t pop up new segments on their own? If you only have one strand of Pothos that is all you will ever have unless you plant more or stick the vine into the soil in order to get it root?
That, or clip it. Clipping an end off tends to not make the end fork into two stems (as is the case with most plants) but instead seems to tell the roots to send another stem up from the soil. But, yes, if you just leave it be, it will never get bushier, just longer and longer and longer.
How far away from the plant should you position a cheapie (Amazon) disc shaped Led Grow light? I know these lights are considered shite by the experts. But I just have two on two small holders with some pothos cuttings. I hope they will do the trick. I'm trying to grow Neon Pothos in my aquarium. It's a common thing we Fishy Feckers do. Helps reduce ammonia and in turn nitrates. Looks nice too. If it grows! You leave the leaves out of water but the stems with roots submerged. I have noticed a couple of brown spots. It could just be due to the transition from terrestrial to aquatic. But I don't want to scorch my little fish poop eater. Please don't say I'm overwatering. 😂
@@SheffieldMadePlants Many thanks! It was hard to get guidance on Google. I did have them about 4 inches away. But changed it to about 12 inches in case it was too close. I will follow your suggestion and go for the hopefully happy medium.
What you call a satin pothos is what I know as a Scindapsus pictus...which is it? I am finding a lot of confusion on the actual names of 'common' houseplants! 🤨😜😬

Satin pothos isn't really a pothos. Scindapsus and they like to dry out more than pothos
None of these are. Pothos is a common name for anything that gen pop can't remember proper name of (I don't know, that's my take on it 😅🙈🫣)
In Germany, we call it "Efeutute". The latin name is "Epipremnum". "Scindapsus" are the speckled ones. The Neon Pothos is a "Goldene Efeutute" 😄
I think the pole looks beautiful and should enjoy the view.
I just learned about air layering today!

@@SheffieldMadePlants actually it wasn’t enough usually I water it after the plant is completely dry it is possible this is it?
@@zahraangha5999 could be yes
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you very much
"Not literally Wheetabix " 🤣
Serious question: what's the objection to Miracle Gro?
Nothing really. It’s synthetic so easier to over fertilise. It’s fine though
I’m moving my pothos into a lighter area. Brilliant advice
LMAO and i thought i was the only crazy person who has been experimenting with soil poles 😂 TRUST me soil poles are the future! (anyway gotta go back to dusting ....)
How do you find all the falling debris?
Got my pothos hanging in our south facing living room window, gets SO much sun and it's out of control dangling blogging the view for the plant hanging underneath it.
My ≈6” satin pothos was doing pretty well until recently. My jade plant gave her fungus gnats. So, I watered her with the recommended 1:4 dilution of 3% hydrogen peroxide. Five days later, she’s wilted and sagged, and her leaves have shriveled a bit. Did I make a mistake? Will she recover? What should I do?
Give her lots of light and hopefully. Not sure what went wrong
Every time I do the Bobby pin on the stem it fails epically. I’ve tried paper clips too . Maybe pinning isn’t for me smh
This is unscientific but i posit that plants at Casa Sheffield which see more bin than sky are less likely to be bushy
😂
In the singular "pothos"(lust, desire), in the plural "pothoi", but you read as "pothee" 🤓🧐😊
Wild!
good tips Thanks
but don't use this hair pins it'll suffocate your plant's stem
there are wider and bigger pins better and easier to use and it'll not suffocate it
Thanks for the video
I moved my pythos outside on my front patio that gets morning sun. It now has holes in leaves at soil. What is eating her and what do I do to stop it
Could be lots of things. Caterpillars?
That's what I thought too. I got a spray for it but can't tell if it has stopped
I have a neon pothos its just one stem dangling over the edge of the pot, I want to do that 'nodes in soil' thing but it'll snap if i bend its one stem that much around. Im scared to mess with it, I'm not much of a gardener. Its first leaf went yellow and died a few days ago, I think pot is holding the wetness too long but i don't know. Its been in pot 2 years, would it be time to repot it?
First check the soil moisture. You can do this by sticking a chopstick and if it comes really damp, then maybe you could be over watering it. If u do suspect root rot, unpot it ASAP. Then repot it in well draining soil and a nursery pot with holes. You can propogate the stems in water or soil. I prefer soil as it roots faster for me in it and perlite is not available here. Hope this helps😊😊.
@@poisongoddess101 I barely water it, but the soil stays wet for a long time. Maybe pot is too big. I think I'll propogate the stems in soil, that sounds like the way to go. Thanks for the advice
If the pot is too big than the football then it is prone to getting over watered and root rot. If u do have this issue then u should probably repot or propogate. Happy Gardening 😊
I have an aquarium. Is it wise to use the water from this when cleaning my fish tank?
Yep very good
I do not have a pothos so I don’t know…..they don’t pop up new segments on their own? If you only have one strand of Pothos that is all you will ever have unless you plant more or stick the vine into the soil in order to get it root?
That, or clip it. Clipping an end off tends to not make the end fork into two stems (as is the case with most plants) but instead seems to tell the roots to send another stem up from the soil. But, yes, if you just leave it be, it will never get bushier, just longer and longer and longer.
How make those clear moss climbing thingi?
I buy them from amazon. Tons to choose from
I will forever call them “pauthaus” now.
Potai = plural
Is watering every 4 weeks too little? Do plants need more water in summer or winter?
Summer yes but just water when the soil is dry
How far away from the plant should you position a cheapie (Amazon) disc shaped Led Grow light? I know these lights are considered shite by the experts. But I just have two on two small holders with some pothos cuttings. I hope they will do the trick.
I'm trying to grow Neon Pothos in my aquarium. It's a common thing we Fishy Feckers do. Helps reduce ammonia and in turn nitrates. Looks nice too. If it grows!
You leave the leaves out of water but the stems with roots submerged.
I have noticed a couple of brown spots. It could just be due to the transition from terrestrial to aquatic. But I don't want to scorch my little fish poop eater. Please don't say I'm overwatering. 😂
About 20cm or so is what i aim for
@@SheffieldMadePlants Many thanks! It was hard to get guidance on Google. I did have them about 4 inches away. But changed it to about 12 inches in case it was too close.
I will follow your suggestion and go for the hopefully happy medium.
My friend has given me dozens of pothos cuttings of all kinds of varieties and I just can never get them to root in water or dirt 😢 Pothos HATE me.
I’ve tried downloading your troubleshooting handbook, it says it’s downloaded, but it’s not.
Send me an email
What you call a satin pothos is what I know as a Scindapsus pictus...which is it? I am finding a lot of confusion on the actual names of 'common' houseplants! 🤨😜😬
I think both!
Pothi?
Mines only are growing when the humidity is over 80%..
