How to Make Hydroponic Pothos Root Quickly
When it comes to the pothos plant, everyone is very familiar with it and no one finds it strange. Among most plants, pothos is still one of the easier plants to keep alive in hydroponics. Even so, there are still many friends who cannot keep it alive. So how exactly should it be grown to be done correctly?

1. Aerial roots
1. What are aerial roots
Whether hydroponic pothos roots or not is closely related to these aerial roots. If you master the method for aerial roots, then it is equivalent to being half successful. So where do aerial roots grow? In fact, the small raised bumps at the joints of pothos stems are aerial roots. As long as the aerial roots are used well, you can grow vibrant green vines.
2. How to cultivate them
Aerial roots are called aerial roots. From this name, we can tell that they cannot be placed in water. We can use a bottle filled with water, then insert one end of the stem with aerial roots into the water. The water level cannot cover all the aerial roots; it can cover them just a little. After a few days, the aerial roots will develop many water roots, and the root system will grow and become well developed in this way.
2. Points to note
Although aerial roots are very important, changing the water is also very important. At the beginning, fresh water needs to be changed every three days. Some flower friends ask whether white sugar can speed up the rooting speed of pothos. Shuaishuai emphasizes here that this method is not correct, because white sugar does not have the effect of promoting rooting, and pothos is very easy to grow. There is no need to use white sugar for rooting. White sugar is used to delay the flowering period. If you are really impatient and want quick rooting, you can also make your own rooting water. Below is the preparation method given by Shuaishuai:
Preparation method of rooting water: Mix white sugar and hot water in a 1:9 ratio, cool the sugar water to room temperature, then put the pothos stem with aerial roots into it and soak for several hours before carrying out hydroponics.
The above is the method for making hydroponic pothos root quickly. Pothos is very easy to grow in hydroponics. Some beginners do not understand the issue of pothos aerial roots, so rooting is hindered. So after reading this, has everyone learned it? If the aerial roots are used well, rooting is an easy matter, so everyone should practice more and pay more attention.
