Growing a HUGE pothos plant with bushy, big leaves and a vining habit is pretty simple, provided you take note of these 5 tips. We often forget that Epipremnum aureum is a vining, vigorous grower in its natural habitat. So mimicking that habitat as well as some pruning and propagation techniques will keep your pothos looking bushy and full for years to come.

1. Yes this is a Scindapsus pictus, not a pothos (Epipremnum aureum) – I know that 🙂 but the tips are the same
2. You can pot up multiple cuttings into the same hole to increase bushiness even further
3. The powder I use when potting the cuttings is this: https://www.xtreme-gardening.com/mykos
4. The sexy apron is one I custom-designed specifically for gardening, check it out here: https://findaprons.com/products/harvest-apron-designed-in-partnership-with-kevin-espiritu
He wears gloves for this?
mine is big and bushy
Is that a cyathea cooperi or Australian tree fern in the background 🙂 ? Nice video
handsome and awesome explanation
This is the best video everrrr thank you! Now I know what to do with my cuttings
They are not hard to kill. Don't give it enough light or too much water and they will rot or die without enough light.
Oooh [shakes head in disbelief] that was one nasty hatchet job on that lovey, happy contented plant (straight from the store by the looks of it). Little tip if you want a really big Scindapsus buy three nice full ones (many stems) and get yourself a nice wide pot and plant all three in it. Dont just pour potting soil over it like this either, you need to gently firm it down between or around the plant(s). Reason I say buy three is because it will always be uneven if you do it the way shown, one side much much shorter than the other as the cuttings will not catch up to the other side as it also grows of course.. If you want to make a big pot with your existing dangler start again from scratch. Chop the entire thing up and plant a whole pot of just cuttings out of it, as big as you like. Most will strike if you keep it humid and warm under some sort of baggie. Not overly wet not dry, it should be fine without any more attention as the baggie keeps it just right mositure wise as none of it can escape the bag. You should also use your favorite fungicide one time, be that an organic one or chemical.
When his eyes match the plant
Sheeeeet these pothoes be thicc in da streetz, if youz a thicc trill tricking azz pothoe holla at cha boi
Potting on vs repotting
Can you take a couple of the long hanging legs and gently fold them up placing ends into the soil and hope they take root to make it bushier?
LOL I use the same potting mix.
The plant name is Scindapsus Pictus not Pothos.
Could you make a video on aglaonema pink valentine!!!
This is not pothos; it's Scindapsus pictus.
Great video!! Thank you!!
Pothos pronunciation: POE-thawss (rhymes with boss).
i put my pothos in the morning sun and it did burn a few leaves but they've now adapted to it. it's growing soooo fast! I love it 😀 and no more burned leaves too hehe
What do you mean nobody talks about it?? Lol
You’re awesome!
My scindapsus pictus exotica doesn't grow at all!!! I bought a plant of 4 leaves. But there was absolutely no growth. After a month I checked the root system. It was good and roots were coming out from 3 nodes. So I divided the whole plant into two. Repotted in a smaller pot as the nursery pot was too big! But nothing is happening at all! Please someone help me.
Root Bound, so long as the roots are healthy, why does it matter?
When is the growing season for this plant???
The darker green ones don't grow as big
