yep agreed i just cut them down pretty far. if you can see a root nub and cut it with that on the cutting it will root alot faster. the root nub useually starts on the vine where the leaf stalks shoot off. ( if that makes sence )
i useually take a vine with about three healthy leaf shoots and also put in a glass of water untill i see some nice white roots, them straight into soil..
just a tip for you:
if you notice that you pthos is growing more like a vine and you want it more bushy, you can take one of the longer vines and turn it around back into the soil, and bury it a little where a root nub can re-root and it will start again there.

add some rooting solution to the water.
If you want you can also add rooting solution which will make it root faster and stronger.

Hi
Does anyone know the best way to take cuttings from a devils Ivy/ pothos,
Mine are growing well and would like to split them, but unsure how,
Thanks
Its hard to do wrong. They are very fault tolerant
I use scissors to cut pieces off, usually aiming for mid-way between two leaf nodes. Helps if the cutting is about 6 leaves long (if longer you could loose a few leaves before the new roots develop). Put the cut end of the cutting into a jar of water. wait. once roots form, transfer to soil. Or not - i have some growing only in water for months and month. You can also put the cutting directly into soil, so long as the soil is kept damp.

Well that's just fancy. Mine would surely die if I gave them all that attention

Any plant I touch dies. I don't know how I've managed to keep my current plants alive so long... as a kid I once tried to grow a tomatoe plant, it grew fully with just the rain and me forgetting about it, a deer came and ate my tomatoes, but the second I actually tried to pick a tomatoe myself, the next day it started dying.

Any advice in propagating Umbrella ( schefflera Abricola) cuttings? I get about 40% success with them.

they do better if the cuttings are from older stems, and if you tent the cuttings to keep humid.

Pretty much anywhere will work from what I have found, I just cut a piece off and put it in water for 2-3 weeks.

Yo! Can we get some photos of these cuttings? I mean, do I cut a leaf off or what?
On this picture (of my cutting growing) I've put the line where I sort of cut the original:
Nothing to it really, just bang it in water for a while and then into soil/compost!
