Signs of Dormancy	Not applicable
Seasonal Care Adjustments	Reduce water in colder temperatures (late Fall to early Spring)
Support Requirements	Not required, but stakes, trellises, moss poles, trees and walls will encourage climbing if there's a light source above the plant.
Pruning Requirements	Devil's Ivy can be cut back at any time to better control growth pattern. Stem cuttings will root if a leaf node is submerged in water or soil. They can be added to the parent's pot to give a bushier appearance.
Cleaning Requirements	Mist or wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove any dust buildup.
Pests to Watch For	Mealybugs, Spider Mites, Scale Insects, and Aphids
Potential Diseases	Root rot due to overwatering and Fungal infections

Propagation by Stem Cuttings	Yes
Stem Cuttings Timing	Can be done any time of year but will have best results in late spring to mid-summer.
Stem Cuttings Steps	Choose a healthy stem with at least 3-4 nodes (small bumps where leaves and aerial roots grow). Using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears, cut the stem just below a node. Ensure the cutting is at least 4-6 inches long. Remove the leaves from the bottom 2-3 nodes, leaving at least one leaf at the top. Water Propagation: Fill a glass or jar with room temperature water and place the cutting in it, ensuring the nodes are submerged but the leaves are above the water. Soil Propagation: Plant the cutting in a pot filled with well-draining potting mix (50% vermiculite or perlite is recommended), ensuring the nodes are buried in the soil. Place the cutting in a location with bright, indirect light. Change the water every 3-4 days when in water, or keep soil mix consistently moist (not soggy). Roots should start to develop in 2-4 weeks. When you see new growth it can be transplanted to another pot if desired.
Propagation Notes	Propagation by stem cuttings can also be done in sphagnum moss by moistening the moss, inserting at least one leaf node, and wrapping in in plastic wrap to retain moisture. You will need to transplant to soil once roots have developed, though.
