How to Grow and Daily Care Tips for Lühang Pothos
SummaryLühang pothos likes to grow in shaded environments and is suitable for care indoors in a spot with plenty of sunlight. The ideal temperature is above 20°C, and keeping the overwintering temperature at 10°C is better. During the growing period, water mist can be sprayed on the leaves at regular intervals. Do not water too frequently; water when the soil is dry, but be careful that there is no standing water in the pot soil, as this can easily cause root rot. A liquid fertilizer can be sprayed on the leaves twice a month, which helps keep the leaves emerald green.
I. How to Grow Lühang Pothos
1. Choosing Lühang Pothos
(1) First, observe the flower pot of the Lühang pothos. If the pot is marked with the pothos trademark, etc., then it is authentic Lühang pothos.
(2) Also pay attention to the growing medium of the Lühang pothos. If the growing medium does not have good air permeability, it will lead to a low survival rate for the Lühang pothos. Generally, growing media with good air permeability include coconut coir and perlite.
(3) There are many varieties of pothos, so a small number of vendors pass off other pothos varieties as Lühang pothos. Therefore, when choosing, you can compare the leaves of Lühang pothos. Generally, the leaves of Lühang pothos are larger than those of other varieties.
2. Sufficient Light
Lühang pothos likes to be grown in shaded environments, so its sun-loving tendency is not very strong. However, when growing it in the autumn and winter in the north, appropriate light is needed to enhance photosynthesis on the leaf surface of the Lühang pothos. At noon, the Lühang pothos can be placed indoors in a spot with plenty of sunlight for care.
3. Suitable Temperature
The suitable temperature during the growing period of Lühang pothos is above 20°C. When the temperature is above 10°C, it can overwinter safely, but it should not be placed outdoors for care. The outdoor temperature is relatively low, and even a very short placement can cause frost damage to the leaves.
4. Regular Watering
The growing environment of Lühang pothos needs relative humidity. To ensure its robust growth, water mist can be sprayed on the leaf surface at regular intervals, or a humidifier can be placed nearby. During the growing period, the soil needs to be kept moist at all times. When the temperature is relatively low, reduce the amount of watering. In winter, water that has been left standing for 1 day can be used for watering; water that is too cold may also cause root damage.
4. Applying Liquid Fertilizer by Watering and Spraying
When growing it in the autumn and winter in northern regions, Lühang pothos will pause growth. During this period, reduce the frequency of fertilization. A liquid fertilizer can be sprayed on the leaves twice a month, which helps keep the leaves green.
II. Precautions for Growing Lühang Pothos
Lühang pothos can be grown in an extensive way, but the soil in the pot must not be too dry, otherwise it will cause yellowing and leaf drop. When watering, the amount of water must not be too large, otherwise it will cause root rot in the plant. If Lühang pothos is kept for a long time in a place with overly strong or overly dim light, it will easily cause excessive growth of the plant, resulting in a sparse and scattered plant shape and gradually fading leaf color.
