About the topic of whether epipremnum aureum can be propagated in autumn and winter and a brief description of the quick rooting method for epipremnum aureum cutting, the following is a comprehensive introduction.
Epipremnum aureum can purify the air in our home, with its green and shiny leaves, one pot of epipremnum aureum can purify the air of an entire room. It is a very familiar and commonly seen potted plant, with almost every household having one or two pots. Its leaves are always green, including large-leaf epipremnum aureum, small-leaf epipremnum aureum, climbing epipremnum aureum, and variegated epipremnum aureum. No matter which type, the maintenance methods are similar. The propagation method of epipremnum aureum is generally through cutting, and actually, epipremnum aureum can also be propagated in winter.
Winter epipremnum aureum propagation with a "wet towel" can result in white roots in 7 days, filling the pot
Winter propagation method for epipremnum aureum
Epipremnum aureum can actually be propagated all year round, especially in spring, which is the most suitable time. Summer and autumn are also suitable for propagation, and winter can also be used for propagation, but there are temperature requirements. It is best to keep it above 20 degrees. If the temperature is too low, the epipremnum aureum cuttings tend to turn yellow and get withered before the roots grow, as the leaves freeze. Higher temperatures in winter will increase the survival rate of cuttings. However, when propagating epipremnum aureum at home, using a clever method can make winter propagation stress-free, with roots and leaves growing well and becoming more vigorous.
Key points and tips for winter propagation of epipremnum aureum
First, the temperature must be suitable, which is the most important point. Low temperatures can easily affect root growth. Maintain a temperature of at least 15 degrees and above. If the outdoor temperature is low, we can propagate in an indoor location.

Second, when cutting the epipremnum aureum branches, it is important to note that the branches should be between 15 to 20 centimeters long, and each cutting should have one or two leaves. If it can also have aerial roots, it will be easier and faster for new roots to emerge.
Third, in winter propagation of epipremnum aureum, we can also use a towel to promote rapid root growth and successful survival. Prepare the branches for propagation and then prepare a wet towel, ensuring it is moist but not dripping. Wrap the branches with the wet towel, especially where the branches and aerial roots are, leaving the leaves outside the towel unwrapped.
Then place the towel-wrapped epipremnum aureum branches in a slightly warm place, such as near an air conditioner, router, refrigerator, etc., and re-wet the towel when it dries. After about a week, many white roots will have grown.
