How to grow pothos leaves so they turn glossy green? The latest care tips

1. Suitable lighting

Pothos can grow normally even in an environment without light, but if you want its leaves to be more glossy green, it needs the nourishment of light. Apart from summer, it can be given diffused light in all three seasons of spring, autumn and winter, so that it can carry out photosynthesis better, and the leaves will naturally become more glossy green and grow more vigorously.

2. Wipe with beer

During the care period, wipe its leaves with beer frequently. The specific method is to first dilute it with clean water, then dip a cloth in it and wipe the leaves. This not only removes the dust from the leaf surface, but also helps make the leaves more glossy green. In addition, wiping with clean water also works very well.

3. Supplement fertilizer regularly

Although pothos has a certain tolerance for poor soil, if you want it to grow better and have more glossy green leaves, it cannot do without nutrients. You should fertilize frequently during the peak growing season. Monopotassium phosphate and urea fertilizer are fine. They can be diluted and poured at the roots, or sprayed on the leaves, and both effects are quite good. If you apply granular fertilizer, water it moderately after application to dilute it, so the plant absorbs it faster and fertilizer burn is avoided.

4. Suitable environment

If you want its leaves to be more glossy and emerald green, you must provide a suitable environment. Note that during the high-temperature stage in summer, it needs more ventilation, and frequent spraying of water to cool it down. In winter, move it indoors and control the temperature, otherwise the leaves easily turn yellow under both high and low temperatures.
