A plant<\/strong> that decorates shelves and hanging vases in the home with its wonderful and unmistakable leaves<\/strong> : the potos<\/strong> (also called pothos<\/em> ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to its unique appearance and its resistance, potos<\/strong> is a much loved plant and, in recent years, it has become a true furnishing symbol of modern <\/strong>homes<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many often try to multiply it by cutting<\/strong> , placing the cutting in a glass or jar full of water until it takes root<\/strong> , and then burying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet, the potos<\/strong> cutting does not always take root<\/strong> . Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s see together some reasons<\/strong> why the potos<\/strong> does not take root<\/strong> so that we can resolve them and be able to multiply the seedling successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attention<\/strong> : if you have problems or doubts, you can ask your questions to your trusted florist<\/strong> or gardener .<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people make a mistake that seems trivial, but which in reality can have very serious consequences: they cut potos<\/strong> cuttings that<\/strong> are too long<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cuttings that<\/strong> are too long, even if kept in the right conditions, are more difficult to develop roots<\/strong> as they have to use more energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal is to cut cuttings between 10 and 15 cm<\/strong> long .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another very common mistake is to use rainwater<\/strong> or demineralised water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, it is more appropriate to use sink<\/strong> water which has higher concentrations of calcium<\/strong> and magnesium<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh I forgot!

I am waiting for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Only then will the base of your cutting produce roots<\/strong> more quickly and easily .<\/p>\n\n\n\n The water contained in the glass or vase in which you placed your cutting<\/strong> should be changed regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don’t do this, the cutting<\/strong> can suffer from a lack of oxygen<\/strong> and begin to decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, every 2-3 days<\/strong> , don’t forget to change the water<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cuttings will only develop roots if <\/strong>the<\/strong> starting plant is healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure, therefore, that your potos<\/strong> is in perfect health conditions and cut cuttings from<\/strong> those parts of the plant that are greener<\/strong> and thicker<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only in this way will you be sure that the cuttings have all the energy necessary<\/strong> to develop new roots and transform into real seedlings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another of the most common mistakes that are made in this case is to try to reproduce the potos<\/strong> in the cold months<\/strong> , particularly in winter<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the cuttings to develop roots, a high temperature<\/strong> and lots of sun are required, characteristics that are not always present in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to multiply the potos<\/strong> , the ideal period is late spring<\/strong> or early summer<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cuttings develop roots only when <\/strong>they<\/strong> are exposed to a fairly high <\/strong>temperature<\/strong> for many hours a day .<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you keep them in a damp and cold place, you can wait even months ,<\/strong> but the roots<\/strong> will never grow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keep your cuttings at a temperature<\/strong> never below 20\u00b0C<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people, after a few days, because they see that the cuttings<\/strong> have not taken root, throw them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no precise time for the cuttings to develop roots: this process can take place in 3-4 days<\/strong> as well as 2-3 weeks<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, be patient<\/strong> and wait some time before giving up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the cuttings<\/strong> of succulent plants<\/strong> should be left to dry a little in the sun before rooting them, those of potos<\/strong> should be placed immediately in water<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don’t do this, in fact, the cutting<\/strong> will quickly weaken and will no longer have the strength to put down roots<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, as soon as you cut it… immediately put the cutting in a glass<\/strong> !<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have placed the potos<\/strong> cuttings in a glass<\/strong> or vase filled with water, you must place them in the right place for <\/strong>root<\/strong> development to occur .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose a bright <\/strong>place<\/strong> but not too much.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal is a window <\/strong>sill<\/strong> where, however, direct sunlight does not reach for too many hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you place the cuttings in a dark <\/strong>place<\/strong> , they will never develop roots<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n A properly cut cutting<\/strong> should include a node<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n By node<\/strong> we mean the part where the stem<\/strong> meets the branch<\/strong> . This is fundamental as it is precisely from the node that not only new roots<\/strong> will develop , but also a new shoot<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, be careful to also include the knot in your cutting<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are struggling with gardening<\/strong> and want practical and useful ideas for taking care of your plants, don’t miss our advice<\/strong> !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A plant that decorates shelves and hanging vases in the home with its wonderful and unmistakable leaves : the potos (also called pothos ).
