TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL CUTTINGS

Epipremnum Global Green propagates very easily by stem cuttings.

Choose a healthy stem with at least two nodes.

Cut below a node and place the cutting in water or directly into suitable potting soil.

We advise you to root the cutting first in water , remember to change the water about once a week.

Keep the cutting in a warm place with indirect light until roots develop, usually within a few weeks.

Once the cuttings have rooted well, plant them in a pot with drainage holes , preferably transparent , with a suitable substrate.

The transparent pot will allow you to observe the development of the root system and easily monitor the moisture of the substrate, thus helping to avoid overwatering or, conversely, excessively long periods of drought.
