Epipremnum aureum

Pothos (cuttings)

Forgiving vines for larger open or semi-closed setups.

Use small cuttings rather than mature vines. Pothos is resilient and helps beginners practice pruning and training.

Why it works

Hardy cuttings teach pruning without high risk — ideal for larger cabinets.

Watering notes

Water when the mix is lightly dry at the surface. In humid cabinets, water less than houseplant pots.

Care tips

  • Start with two or three nodes only.
  • Train around hardscape rather than letting it swamp moss.
  • Pinch often.

Common problems

  • Overgrowth that shades everything else.
  • Yellow leaves from chronic wet mix.
  • Sparse leaves in very low light.
