- In my previous video, I shared with you how to care and propagate one of the easiest indoor plants ever, Pothos. In this video we continue our houseplant care guide by showing you how to repot them to a larger pot. We’ll also talk about why you need to repot your Pothos, when’s the best time to repot and how can you tell your plant needs to be repotted. I’ll then show you two ways you can repot your plant to either have them trail down beautifully on a bookshelf or climb up on a moss pole as a floor plant. Enjoy and don’t forget to give this video a thumbs up.

Who’s going to repot their Pothos this Spring? Are you going to have them trail down or climb up?
Crazy Plant Guy I might repot my golden pothos. I’ve noticed it’s needing water much more often. The roots aren’t coming out of the bottom yet though. Such a great video! Thank you! 💚
FIRST And FOREMOST I Want To See MINE TRAILING Whether In Hanging Pots Or From Shelves.
Going to let mine trail😍💚
Both for me...trail and climb. I'm so excited... spring is almost here. Their roots are probably screaming right about now....😂
I was gonna trail but you make me want to climb! 🤔
Bless this man for including time stamps for each topic. He's a fountain of information but I only need a drop rn.
I noticed my golden stopped growing after months of continuous growth. He went from growing about a foot a month even through the winter to declining. I pulled him out of the pot and he was wrapped around the terra cotta pot I had him in. I repotted him and he is doing much better and even putting out new growth 🥰
Suzanne here, i collect water jars and unusual ones, all shapes, clear glass of course i have many many pothos, but over a span of 40 plus years of growing this plant, i find they do much better simply growing in plain water, i have some in soil, but they simply do not do as well as the ones do in water. and YEs they can last a life time in plain water, and grow much better, than in soil, i have many hanging in soil, but i take cuttings often and am always making more and more, i love watching the roots grow, there is one rule with this kinda growing them, change the water 2 times a week and keep it clean, remove any dead items, and enjoy water growing
I actually just started this a few weeks ago,my pathos are soooo long didn't know wht to do, so I nervously cut a piece of the vine & put it in a small bowl,& it's rooting now,looks so cool!
Do they grow thicker?
Whenever repotting I start strong, then start to think to myself "what have I gotten myself into" after it's all out on the table. It's always the most stressful part.
My worst time was with my string of pearls.. it was only in a 2 inch container, and the roots weren't the reason for repotting but the pearls on top were all on top of each other with no sign of growth (like they had been propegated a tonne, but I was a noob at the time). I just started taking them out and they came out in one piece, but after the soil fell off I noticed it was a million separate 'strings' with hardly any roots. I did move them to a bigger container so all the 'strings' were in soil (most stressful and difficult repotting ever) and they almost died from shock but they have started vining again after their recovery and it warms my heart. I don't think I'll ever repot it again 😅
I've never really felt the need to comment on any CZcams video as I'm really just here to watch. However, your channel has been so educational, calming, and fun to watch and I just thought you should know! Thank you for sharing all your plant knowledge!
Aww 😊. Thank you so much. Really appreciate you taking the time and happy your learning and enjoying the channel 😃🌿💚
Love how you call your plants ‘guys’ ! Sweet ! X
Haha...😆. These little ‘Guys’ need a bit more representation in the Plant community. 🌿
When you decided to plant the viney piece instead of cutting it I was mind blown lol definitely taught me something new 🙌🏻
All your plants are beautiful and full. I've just bought 2 neon pothos, they're already trailing. I can't wait to propagate them when they grow more. Free plants. Love your tuturials.
Hi. I just discovered your channel. I learned so much from this video. I currently have a golden pothos in a 6" drainage pot. I love how beautiful its growing. It's trailing beautifully on top of my book shelf.
Indoor plant novice here. This is a great video. I've always wanted to own a pothos that climbed up but, I didn't know how to make it happen without it looking too amateur-ish. Thank you for showing the proper technique.
I can listen to you for hours and appreciate how detailed you are.
Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for plants with us! I love learning with you!
Love this video. Watched it again a yr later and so happy I did because my pothos has been thriving this past yr lol. Thanks so much Christian I'm so happy you opened your own shop too! You deserve so many great things to come your way❤ Keep the videos coming, you do such a great job with your channel and grow so many beautiful trailers. I definitely need to get my hands on a few more soon! I ended up getting a hernia and it laid me up for a while, but I'm starting to heal up and get back into things 🍃 The pearl and jade pothis is gorgeous, my gosh.. definitely on my list along with a few others I don't have yet. They're my favorites and fit into any collection or design.
I have three trailing but I'm also growing three that I plan to have climb up poles in a tipi shape. I live in West Africa and have only seen golden pothos but I love them so much 😍
Love the detail instructions you give. I have the golden pothos and would like to ad a few more to my collection thank you for the tips.
Awesome video I just bought a Marble Queen Pothos so now I know when it gets bigger that I can drape it up a moss pole. My new Pothos is a hanging one right now. I was so excited to finally find one.
Yay. Congrats on the Marble Queen. Such a beauty to either hang and trail or climb up.
love this! Going to add a moss pole to my pothos now!
I just got my second and third Pothos today! I got a neon and a second golden Pothos. (which I put with my first golden Pothos since it was a single cutting) I didn’t realize how beautiful the neon Pothos’ were until I saw my new one! Also I’m going to have my golden trail down and my neon climb up!
Did you have to repot straight away after buying?
Such a helpful video as always! Thank you💚💚 I also love my plastic pots!
Thoroughly njoyd. I was just looking at my pothos yesterday, thinking about poling them upward and upgrading a couple pots to bigger sizes. Thanks for that confirmation that its time....
Dionne Jones awesome Dionne. Glad you liked the video. I do love the climbing up. I might actually do the same for my Jade Satin Scindapsus
Watching this because I’m about to purchase pothos and I’m so excited! 🇵🇭
Did you have to repot straight away after buying?
@@RizzyTips It depends on the soil that has been used by the seller po ☺️ But pothos are very low maintenance. I forgot that I commented here 10 mos ago, my pothos now has so many propagations, i have pothos that are trailing down and climbing up 😁😁
@@masofiaalberto I decided to repot it as Im not sure of the soil used, bought it from a garden centre kasi. Thanksss
@@RizzyTips Happy planting po 🤗💚🌱
I LOVE your string of hearts.
One of my favorite plant people on here.
Glad for this video for I am about to put my Pothos in a polo as well and need some insight 🌱👍
I love these Pothos, I just picked up a variegated one a few months ago. I can't wait until it starts to trail. When I got her, she was really small and a bit rough looking, but she's been growing a lot since I repotted her in some fresh soil. Thank you for sharing such a great video! Your plants are gorgeous 🍃🐞
Best plant channel. Excellent demonstrations.
Great tip on repotting in the growing season
Love repotting videos🌱
The pothos came out great on the moss pole, I love the restyle.🙌
Elizabeth Greco-Nieves Thank you. Yeah I’m really feeling the climbing up on a moss pole. Can’t wait to see how big it gets.
Cristian same here, I can’t wait to see that cutie climb😉will definitely check out those moss poles, they look sturdy and I like that you can expand them to different heights. Please update the progress🙌
Wow! Beautiful!
Wow love the pearl and Jade and the neon pathos!! I have the golden pathos plants and love them I want more varieties !!
My eyes 👀 go straight to that string of hearts 💕 every time l watch your lessons 😍🥰
They sell them at every nursery in Southern California, I love them, haven’t had one in a while, and they are so easy to propagate as well. So just buy one plant, and within a year you’ll have several to give away as gifts or keep growing.
I like to use plastic containers inside of really nice terra-cotta. It is much easier to check on them and see how they are doing.
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you
Really enjoyed your video. Good information. So helpful
I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your skills
An aerial/birds eye view would make this video
Awesome!! They all look great!! 💚
Thanks Rene. 😊
I'm LOVING the unintentional ASMR 😴🖤
Thanks for another great video. I have a couple that need a repot but don't want them to get any larger.
Enjoy watching your videos ♥️🙏🏼
Great video! I'm glad u showed the moss pole,I tried it but the poke wouldn't stay still but maybe I put it in wrong, just stuck the pole in the pot & hoped for the best!😅 but the vines are reaaaaally long they're trailing the floor now & I notice the vines that are on the floor are significantly thicker,it's 2 of them took a turn & are starting to trail around my bed, my apt is turning into the old school movie Little Shop Of Horrors! I hv lots going on here with all these plants!😅😅😅🪴🪴🌱🌿
this was super helpful!!
I love them
I have a neon and it's just starting to trail down
I want to get another one to climb up and I've found a gorgeous heart shaped moss pole that I could use
I learned from JoyUsGarden that when repotting vining plants you can put it in a pillow case and that’ll make it easier to hold and keep out the way when trying to rearrange and put in soil.
You’ll Never Know I love JoyUsGaeden, She gives great tips and that’s a good one with the pillow case. 😊 Thanks for the reminder.
Crazy Plant Guy no problem. Anything for the love of plants.
I just repotted my large pothos and saw that pillowcase trick. I didn't have a spare one, so I used a trash bag instead. 😂
Great tip, also about the garbage bag below! I have to repot an established pothos with loooooong vines, today! which is why I'm here, so I really appreciate this tip.
The time stamp guide 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thank you!!!!
I got one today a Golden Pothos and I don’t know anything about plants ㅜ_ㅜ thank you for teaching me so much this is the 2nd video I have watched
Love it!!!
That pearls n jade is gorgeous! Such nice trails. My lil pothos babies are too small to repot just yet. Hopefully I'll get lots of growth this spring and summer!
Twisty Sunshine Thank you. Yes, wishing lots of big growth with your plant baes this season. 😊
Miracle gro plant food sticks really helps with plant growth
I'm glad you got a clip on mic 👏🏼
Beautiful plants
Hi there, Crazy Plant Guy! I love your video on photos. It is very detailed and informative. The only advice I would give is "please, slow down"! I know you want to fit in much helpful info, but honestly, I had to rewind several times. TYSM for your help with indoor plants. :)
Loyda Irizarry He was speaking a little fast. A tip for the future is to click the 3 dots in the top right corner of the screen and select playback speed. You can slow it down.
Enjoyed watching this video 😊 I recently added moss poles to my Golden Pothos, Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus, Neon Pothos and Heart Leaf Philodendron. I am getting a Marble Pothos and an Adansonii tomorrow and will be adding moss poles to those also. I love the look of the leaves reaching up and spreading out.
Thats awesome. Now that I did this with the golden. I actually want to do the same with my Jade Satin Scindapsus. I want to see how big their leaves get when it climbs.
Aggie Hasselfield where do you get your Moss poles..a lot are from China
Kathy Macomber I make my moss poles
Wow i love it!
Very informative, thanks for sharing
Jennifer Anderson Thank you. I’m glad you found it helpful. 😊💚🌿
Think I prefer trailing for these. Thanks for the video.
Neon pothos is my favorite 😍
Nothing crazy about loving plants. 😅❤️🥰
i legit just attached a moss pole to my moms pothos yesterday lol. it is an underrated plant 😂 but i saw the potential in it yesterday lol
Great Video. Very informative.
Thanks! Glad you found it informative and hopefully helpful.
Trail for now. 😀 Good job!
Thank you. Trailing Thursday. 😆🌿
Wow great job! I have all them pothos too and have done this process so helpfull and looking forward to them growing but gonna be winter in Australia soon. Hopefully they will be ok. 💚👍
Thanks! What’s winter in Australia like? I’m assuming the sun is still shining and pretty warm. ☀️ I’m sure it’s ok to repot if you’re plant still gets a lot of light and growing.
@@CrazyPlantGuy yep still sun but gets to 14 degres during the day but cold. Auturm at the moment so dont know how ill do in winter as I just started my housplant collection in spring.😕
I can never decide, new plant Mum ... just hit spring time here in New Zealand so bought two of each, one to pile up and one to hang and trail :)
Interesting information
Thanks for the information.... I learned a lot how to properly repot my pothos.. 😊 new plant momma here 👋🖐i also follow you on instagram 😊
That’s awesome. Welcome to plant parenthood 😁
My favorite plants
*That string of hearts 😳💕 though! How long have you had it?* 🌿✨
I truly enjoyed this video! I'm going try trailing up & down. You are really inspiring to me. Please keep the segments flowing. How many different types of Pothos plants are there? They are my favorites at this time. As a new plant parent, I want to build my family...❤️❤️❤️
He did a video on it, did u watch it? Pretty sure he mentions it in it.
@@cynthiabrown842 who do you saying this lmao?!
My Devil's Ivy(golden pothos) is one of my favorites!!
I'm growing three house plants currently 2 cacti and a golden pothos i had 1 cactus then a friend of mine reached out on Facebook she had a 2 plants that were dying and needed a green thumb tons of the Ivy's leaves browned and fell off the long branches were like paper thin feeling half the leaves were yellow or dead the other drooping down to the ground,I cleaned the pot up nice anything wilted or bad I pulled off watered it nice and it took no time to recover it seems 😊
I want my Golden Pothos to climb up, thanks for this!!!!
Thanks Christian! Your guys are beautiful !😃😉
Thanks Estelle. 🌿💚😊
I’m a new subscriber and enjoying your videos 😊 I’m wondering about your references to🪴repotting in Spring (warmer weather).I live in So Cal and mostly sunny all year…house temp stays pretty constant as well. Does it matter when I do repotting with this situation? Thank you!
This made me feel so much better because I repotted my golden pothos that I’m not sure if it was in a 6in or 8in nursery pot (I purchased as 8”) and so I bought a 10in pot and got freaked out at how big it was. I also added a moss pole. Now I’m not scared it will die lol
What’s a mosspole?
Excessively large pots invite root rot. Always pot up one size pot only. Planting multiple plants into the same pot can cause die-off, as one plant can choke the other. Moss poles require off-center planting which also invites root rot. This creates large areas of soil which roots do not occupy, and therefor will not dry the soil.
@@agile828mn it’s been thriving all these months later! It didn’t seem to be several plants potted up. Just a huge full golden pothos that had probably been outside
@@tayr3836 This will certainly work more often than not, but is typically a technique you wouldnt give out as advice to beginning growers. There is a high enough chance of failure that it isnt wise to tout as a "life hack" for stylizing a pothos. When a nursery uses similar techniques, they can account for their failure rate by planting high volume. If a person has one plant, this technique may leave the person unhappy with your advice and having to buy a new plant.
Cheers
Just a little tip. If you are trying to seperate dirt from fragile roots, sometimes water is your best friend. Not using any pressure, just let the hose run over the dirt and it will break away. you can also fill a bucket with water and gently swirled the roots around in it and the dirt will fall free.
uh we need dat video of how to maintain the size of your plant ASAP!!! you said that real smooth at the end like we weren't gonna be like, yes please tell us how to dat!!! I am having second thoughts about buying more real plants because they need to stay the same size due to my space in my place. They also double as decor so changing size I won't have anywhere to put them and I will have replace them in the space they've grown out of. We need this video! if you have it already could you link it here please? I've searched your channel and couldn't find one.
I Have A Couple Of Manjulas In 4 inch Pots That I Definitely Want To Graduate To 6 Inch Hanging Pots. IF My Trusted Plant Seller, ThePlantFarm On Etsy Comes Out With MORE 4 Inch Pots Of Cebu Blues THEN I Will Be Repotting THEM Into 6 Inch Hanging Pots Like I Did With The Others!!! Its Like...Keep CALM And Grow MORE Cebu Blues!!!
Hi, this randomly came up in a search for me. I just purchased a golden pothos & was interested to know when you say “8 inch pot” for example, do you mean the height of the pot ( bottom to top ) or the diameter? ( width ) Thank you, this was a really informative demonstration. 🙏🏽
Please do an update on your climbing pothos!
I wanna be friends..idk why but ur vibes are so pure
Love your videos. Do you know if Mint Plant grows indoors?
I'm gonna rewatch this to see how many times you say the word guy 😆
How can I place the moss pole without repotting? Can I just stick it in the pot?Great video! 👍 Thanks!
I was taught to call it a "node" too. Not an "aerial root" but that makes more sense
I just recently found your channel on CZcams and I have been loving watching your videos. Where do you get your pots from?
Thank you. I get them pretty much anywhere that has simple clean white pots. Walmart, IKEA, Canadian tire, furniture and home decor shops
@@CrazyPlantGuy Thank you so much. I truly appreciate you letting me know.
Great Video as always👍🏾👍🏾 I'd like mine to climb up. Now i know how to go about it😁😁 thank you very much💚💚
Great video. Found you by accident. Don't cut that long bare leg, circle it in the pot and the nodes will make roots making the plant strong, but you know that. 👏 Thank you for the video.
If I train my jade to go upwards, will it enhance the growth of the leaves or is this growth mainly for golden pothos 🤔
Thank u.
My MIL gave me the trimmings from her 40 year old pothos! Put it in a cute planter and it took off! Repotting today because it's too crowded. She will kill me if it dies due to too small of a pot lol
I really needed this cause my neon needs repot so bad 😂
do you find your Neon grow faster than your other Pothos?
@@CrazyPlantGuy Yes!, he is my most out of control pothos lol. I've been considering giving him a trim but I absolutely love how long he has gotten.
He is so cute! 😂
Christian or pothos? or both? :)
Thank you for this video. I have a monstera that already has a moss pole but she needs repotting. Do you have a video about repotting a plant that already has a moss pole? Should I avoid repotting it?
Took mine out of Terra Cotta and put in a plastic pot. My cat chewed of trailers. I now have 3 more plants after propagating them in water. There is a person who has one in the same pot for 8 years. It is trailing around his house. It for me has always been the easiest to grow. The 8 inch pot is where mine will live out it's Life. It was a small plant when I got it 2 years ago. I water it with rain water only. Trails across and down.
Very informative great video! My question is I recieved a pothos plant from my awesome neighbor and she originally gave it to me in water. A year has passed and I’ve kept it in water and the plant seems to be doing well. It’s very bright and green but grows pretty slowly although it’s root system is getting pretty crazy and very big but I’m wondering would it be very bad to transport it to soil or will that be too jarring to it’s system to suddenly be put in soil. I don’t want to kill the plant because I care for it and want to do my best to keep it alive. Any advice would be gladly appreciated thanks :)
It's already September, should I be repotting my new pothos now?
I'd love to see someone repot an established pothos from a big box store. I have that's completely rootbound and has roots coming out of the top of the soil.. it needs repotted BADLY but I'm terrified to lose it. It's easy to repot a pothos that you've repotted previously. Not so much when you've got one from a big box store that's been over and underwatered consistently.
So I don't really know much about plants but I was wondering what you do with the old soil? Is it reusable or do you throw it away?
I'll search this channel as a new subscriber, but wondering how to manage pothos aerial root that like to reach out and stick to my walls when I trail them across from hook to hook. They are so beautiful, but the little cheeky guys are making marks on my wall. Can I snip off those aerial roots, or will that hurt them? Tips for long pothos vines decorating our walls? Thanking in advance! x
Did you fill your new pot 1/3 full first? So the roots don't need to go all the way down near the bottom of the container?
Is that silver falls in the background? I've grown them for 3 years now in my window box. I love them and want them year round. Can they grow as indoor plants?
My n’joy And my neon pothos needs repotting Badly!! I lifted the plant and all you can see is the white roots almost no soil.
Ta dah !!!
