When repotting a pothos plant, it's important to choose a pot that is only slightly larger to prevent transplant shock and gradually upsize the pots over time.
An ideal soil mix for repotting pothos includes ingredients like coconut coir, orchid bark and perlite to provide the right balance of moisture retention and drainage pothos plants prefer.
When repotting a pothos plant into a larger container, allow the plant to establish for 1-2 weeks before resuming a normal watering regimen, watering only lightly during the initial transition.
To prevent transplant shock when repotting a pothos plant, maintain consistent soil moisture by checking the soil daily at first and watering just enough so the soil is damp but not saturated.
After repotting a pothos plant, allow the soil to partially dry out between waterings once established, sticking to the plant's preference for soil that is moist but never soggy wet.
When propagating pothos, use healthy vines with 3+ leaves and cut 6-8 inches below the last leaf at a 45 degree angle just under the root nodes for the best rooting results.
Once pothos cuttings develop 2-3 inch root systems after water propagating, they can be transferred directly into small starter pots filled with a well-draining, lightweight potting mix to plant the rooted cuttings.
