A short course

Turn one houseplant into five

Where to cut, what to root in, and how to pot up without losing the new plant. Pothos, monstera, tradescantia and friends.

Pothos cuttings rooting in glass jars on a windowsill

Roots in 3–6 weeks

Sound familiar?

  1. The cutting stayed green, then died

    It sat in water for a month and never grew a single root.

  2. It rotted in the jar

    The leaves went soft and the stem turned to mush.

  3. It rooted, then sulked in soil

    Beautiful water roots, and a drooping plant a week after potting.

From the lesson · Find the node and make the cut

Three short lessons

Module 01 · Taking the cutting

  1. Lesson 01

    Find the node and make the cut

    Roots only grow from a node. Learn to spot one, cut a few millimetres below it, and leave one or two leaves so the cutting can feed itself.

Module 02 · Rooting and potting up

  1. Lesson 02

    Water or soil: choosing a rooting medium

    Learn to identify and differentiate normal and abnormal cardiac rhythms across sinus, atrial, junctional, ventricular, and block categories. This guide covers core EKG diagnostic criteria and initial ACLS clinical management strategies.

  2. Lesson 03

    Potting up without transplant shock

    Water roots are soft. Move them into a small pot of airy mix, keep the soil evenly moist for two weeks, then water as normal.
