How often should you water newly propagated Epipremnum aureum?
Do you know these? How often to water newly propagated Epipremnum aureum and tips for successful propagation are related knowledge. Next, the editor will introduce them.
Epipremnum aureum is not only beautiful but also easy to care for. Placing a pot at home can also purify the air, making it deeply loved by many gardening enthusiasts. So, do you know how to propagate Epipremnum aureum? Today, Xiao Ye will specifically introduce the issues to pay attention to when propagating Epipremnum aureum!
I. Propagation Time
Epipremnum aureum grows very fast and has a strong ability to root. Epipremnum aureum kept indoors can be propagated at any time of the year, with spring being the best, as this is when the plant grows most vigorously and has the highest survival rate after propagation.
II. Propagation Methods
Propagation methods are divided into soil propagation and water propagation. Both methods have a high survival rate. Let Xiao Ye introduce them separately!
1. Soil Propagation
Select a healthy plant free of diseases and pests, cut a 10cm long branch, and ensure that the cut branch has more than two aerial roots, which are the black root tips found on each node of Epipremnum aureum. After propagation, these can grow directly into roots. Make a diagonal cut at the bottom of the branch, disinfect and treat for root growth, soak in diluted root growth water, let it dry in the shade, and then insert it directly into the seedbed. Choose a loose and breathable soil as the growing medium, and mix river sand and vermiculite to enhance drainage. Sprinkle water to keep it moist.
2. Water Propagation
The selection and preparation of branches for soil and water propagation are the same. Insert the prepared and treated branches directly into a container filled with water. For water quality, if using tap water, let it sit for two to three days to dissipate the chlorine before use. To ensure root growth, newly water-cultured Epipremnum aureum should be changed water frequently, about every two days.

III. Post-Propagation Management
Important conditions affecting the root growth of newly propagated Epipremnum aureum are temperature, light, and water.
1. Light
In summer, pay attention to shading and avoid direct sunlight. Epipremnum aureum prefers a semi-shaded environment, so whether it's soil or water propagation, avoid strong sunlight before the roots have formed.
2. Water
Water not only includes watering but also includes air humidity. Under appropriate air humidity, i.e., keeping the air humidity around 80%, Epipremnum aureum roots faster. To prevent leaf drying, we can also frequently spray water to keep it moist.
