Since I am very uncoordinated, I like to wet the soil until it wants to stick together. Then I line the pot with the wet soil. Next I do one planting at a time by holding it next to the wet soil lining while placing enough wet soil over the dangling root. I work around the pot getting closer to the center. Last fill the center. If I had to hold multiple pieces, I'd for sure ruin the roots! Lastly, with pathos I let it dry a little bit more between each watering until I get to the same water routine as my other pathos plants.

This video kinda cracks me up cause I consider golden pothos to be bulletproof for propagation. I jam a bunch of cuttings into a thin stem vase and leave them for a year or two. Once I’m ready I use cheap potting soil, scrape off any rot chunks and them shove all the roots in a shallow hole in whatever hanging pot I have around. Lol. I do appreciate your technique though. Probably why I haven’t had success with philodendron. Lol.

I'd say don't worry about coiling the roots, they will coil eventually (very quick actually) around the pot. (Inspect the roots from any nursery plant and you'll see the roots all coiled.) Most tropical plants actually fare better when a bit pot-bound, so I would also say going with a smaller pot at first and then potting up as the plant grows is a better idea. It also gives the plant an opportunity for some fresh soil (which they always appreciate), AND it prevents the #1 plant-killing issue: root rot from over-watering. The more soil you have, the longer the roots will take to absorb all the water from it. And especially when the root system is just starting, that might end up being too much water to absorb. It should be fine in your case because (A) the cuttings are used to being in water (so you would want to keep the soil extra moist at first and then slowly let it dry a bit more between each watering to acclimate it) and (B) it looks like you're using a porous/terracotta pot which won't trap the water in. I just think worrying about coiling roots is very unnecessary.

Rosemary does really best with stem layering - bend a longer branch down, where it touches the soil, remove the leaves in that area and scrape the underside of the stem. Then dig a little hole and tuck the stem into it, still attached to the plant, and with the tip sticking up. Cover with a bit of soil/ potting mix, and put a small rock over the bend stem. Do several Moore, then leave them alone for a month, watering occasionally. Most will root!

I call this species the unkillable plant. Last year as I was moving one in a pot I broke a leaf when I hit it by mistake on a cupboard and that leaf fell down in between some jars. 3 weeks later I moved the jars and found the leaf still green so I jokingly threw it in a small water pot. 6-7 days from that I saw the leaf rotted out on the edge of the pot so I got the pot to throw it but when I looked inside I saw a small root system and a tiny green new leaf coming out from the stem of the old one. I moved it into a pot with soil and while it didn't have a stellar start, it's a big and healthy plant now. I was so shocked that I consider this plant to be unkillable like I said :)) - very nice video Kevin!

You can cut the leaves down a little if the plant is wilting, but that's somewhat tricky as it needs to make energy, and a larger plant can dry out it's own dirt before it drowns in the water it has, while a trimmed down one can go into a spiral from not being able to do exactly that. The best option is to have lots of each plant and keep the best ones, which helps the quality of the plants in many ways~

i prefer pumice, quite a lot of it in the mix. fine coir/peat and perlite tend to pack down over time, so you end up with a ball of either soggy or unwettable media tight around roots. the difference between a container of water vs saturated media is that a container of water holds around 5% oxygen, whereas there's much less oxygen in tight media with water, as the media solids dont hold water, only spaces between media can.

I give it water when it needs it I have two cuttings that are growing and I started them just like I described. So far, this has worked for me no matter where I have lived.
