Easy Propagation of Pathos Plants: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking to add some greenery to your indoor space without breaking the bank? Look no further than pathos plants! Pathos plants, also known as devil’s ivy or many other names in different parts of the world, are a popular choice for indoor plants because they are easy to care for and can thrive in low-light conditions. Even better, they can be propagated easily from cuttings, meaning you can turn one plant into many without spending a dime.

In this guide, we will show you just how easy it is to propagate pathos plants from cuttings. Let’s get started!

Step 1:

Get a Cutting The first step in propagating pathos plants is to obtain a cutting. Don’t waste your money buying a plant from a nursery or store; instead, ask a friend with a healthy pathos plant if you can have a cutting. You’ll want to use sharp, clean shears to cut the stem, making sure to get at least two to three nodes (small bumps on the stem where leaves and roots can grow) with your cutting. Remove the bottom leaves from the cutting to keep the stem clean and ready to propagate.

Step 2:

Place the Cutting in Water Once you have your cutting, it’s time to propagate! Fill a jar or vase with water and submerge at least two nodes of the cutting in the water. Place the cutting next to a window and wait. Pathos plants grow very rapidly, so you should see roots and new leaves develop within just a few weeks.

Step 3:

Change the Water It’s important to change the water every three to four days to keep it clean and prevent algae or mold from developing on the roots. Simply remove the cutting from the water, pour out the old water, and refill the container with fresh water.

Step 4:

Pot the Plant After three to four weeks, your pathos plant should have developed a healthy set of roots. It’s time to transfer it to soil. You can use any container of your choice, but make sure it has good drainage. We recommend using loose organic soil made with compost, perlite, and coconut coir. Plant the cutting in the soil, making sure to bury at least one node of the stem to encourage more root growth.

Step 5:

Care for Your Pathos Plant Pathos plants are easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of conditions. They prefer temperatures between 60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but will not survive above 85 degrees Fahrenheit or below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. In tropical regions, you can plant pathos outside all year round, but in extreme heat or cold, bring them inside. Water your pathos plant regularly and keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. You can fertilize your plant every month or two with a balanced fertilizer.

In just a few easy steps, you can propagate your own pathos plants from cuttings and add some greenery to your indoor space. Not only are they easy to care for, but they also purify the air and help eliminate odors. Give it a try and see how many plants you can propagate from just one cutting!
