#Pothos is one of the hardiest houseplants in existence and will reward you with appealing evergreen foliage if you care for it correctly. And one of the best ways to care for it is knowing How to Prune Pothos So They Grow More!
When to Prune Pothos?
Prune your pothos during its growing period, i.e., from spring to summer and up to early fall, to protect it from the sudden shock. This will help the plant grow new leaves quickly during the active growth period without the stress of cold weather.
How to Prune Pothos, So They Grow More?
Pruning Pothos to make them bushier or bigger is a straightforward task. All you need is a sanitized pair of scissors or small-nosed clippers to snip the dead ends perfectly.
1. Locate the Scar
Look for the area where the main stem meets the leaves—that point is called ‘scars.’ You can easily identify it with its thin horizontal lines. This is the point where you have to make a clean cut while pruning pothos. This will encourage new growth besides ridding the plant of unwanted infestation.
Also, it’s a good idea to trim the vines with no or fewer leaves, or they will dry up and give the plant a leggy look.
2. Prune the Tips of the Vines

If you just want to increase the length of your pothos, then it would be a great idea to trim the top of the vine by 1-2 inches. It will keep the plant’s shape in check, encouraging it to grow at a faster rate while promoting longer trailing branches.
3. Inspect Each Vine Strand
Don’t just go about trimming pothos. Make sure you are spending time inspecting the vine strands of the plant to ensure you prune them right, which will encourage the pothos to go bushier. Cut a quarter-inch above the scar or node for best results and growth.
4. Go for the Nodes

The best way to make your pothos have a thick and long growth is to go for the nodes. Make a clean-cut, at least a quarter-inch above the node. This will make the plant grow new shoots, making it have a bushy and thick appearance in no time!
5. Do Not Forget to Propagate Some Stems
Last but not the least, do not forget to plant some of the trimmed stems right into the same pot. This is the cheapest and most foolproof method to make your pothos look fuller. The cuttings will root in the same pot, making it dense and full!
More Pothos Pruning Tips & After Care
Keep certain things in mind after pruning the pothos for healthy growth:
Keep the growing medium moist after pruning to ensure enough moisture while healing the plant.
Maintain a temperature of 65 to 85F or 18 to 29 C for a favorable growing environment.
Locate the plant at a spot with ample bright filtered sunlight.
Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer after pruning to boost new growth at the right time.
Repot the root ball to a bigger container once you find your pothos outgrowing the growing vessel.

lifesaverrrr, i unintentionally neglected my devils ivy for a long time so it got all messed up and scraggly lol. i hope this'll work and bring it back to life again!

This video is annoying. “Locate the scar” but doesn’t SHOW a scar. What is the difference between a scar and a node? “Trim the tip”. Does that mean cut off the newest leaves?? Which way is “above” the node — towards the base or towards the tip? What is the point of a VIDEO if you don’t SHOW what you are talking about? I am no better informed how to trim the pothos than I was when I started this video. I am only more frustrated.

Thank you so much for that info. I am on the East Coast of Australia and we call it Devils Ivy here. It grows like crazy!!!!

Helpful video! When you say to cut above the node, does that mean the stem should include the node, or exclude it?

I just repotted some stems today. She definitely needs a more thorough trim but I filled her bald spot 😂

What happens if the actual node (bump along the vine) is cut off or snipped? Will the node regrow?
