Propagating Epipremnum aureum in water is simple and very suitable for those who love its lush green leaves but have no time to care for it. Let's learn together how to propagate Epipremnum aureum in water.
One, propagation by cuttings
First, prepare a container of appropriate size and fill it with clean water. If it's tap water, it needs to be placed outdoors to air-dry for a day. Then select a healthy stem from a vigorous plant, cut about 10 centimeters (do not make it too long), and make sure there are about 5 leaves on the stem. Insert the cutting into the container with the leaves above the water, and change the water as scheduled. New roots should grow in about 10 days.
Two, propagation with roots
Remove the Epipremnum aureum with roots from the soil, wash off the soil on the roots, and clean away any rot with scissors. After cleaning, soak it in a diluted potassium permanganate solution for 1 hour to disinfect and prevent root rot after water propagation. Finally, place the roots in a pre-prepared container with water and change the water as scheduled.
Three, care methods
1. When changing the water, the water temperature should be the same as the room temperature. Change the water frequently in the beginning, about every 3 days. After the roots grow, change the water every 7 days. After new leaves grow, you can add nutrient solution to the water, about once every 10 days. You can also wipe the leaves with diluted nutrient solution to keep them green and lush.
2. When changing the water, clean the dirt from the container and wash off any slimy substance from the roots. Trim any yellow leaves promptly, and when the air is dry, you can also spray the leaves with mist water, which not only increases the humidity but also benefits the plant's growth and development.
3. Place it in a well-ventilated area but not in direct sunlight. Indirect light is sufficient. Do not move the position randomly and keep it away from places with a lot of油烟, dust, or strong radiation.
