Pothos is also known as devil's ivy, golden pothos, golden vine, mulberry leaf, etc. It is a large evergreen climbing plant in the Araceae family, genus Epipremnum, growing in tropical regions, often climbing on rocks and tree trunks in rainforests. It has strong twining ability and well-developed aerial roots, can be grown hydroponically, and has extremely high ornamental value. Now let's take a look at what uses pothos has!

The decorative use of pothos

Pothos is one of the finest indoor decorative plants, a climbing vine foliage flower. Its stems are slender and soft, its leaves delicate and elegant, swaying gracefully. Place a pot on top of a cabinet and let its vines hang down casually, or after the vines hang too long, loop them into a circle, just like an emerald relief. This not only makes full use of space but also adds a green decoration with lively lines and bright colors to stiff indoor furniture, making the space full of vitality, giving people aesthetic pleasure and making body and mind feel refreshed. Therefore, its decorative effect is very prominent.

Pothos can purify the air

1. Absorbing harmful gases: Pothos is a large evergreen climbing plant, and like spider plants and ivy, it has a strong ability to purify the air, can absorb benzene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, etc. from the air, and can also absorb nicotine. For a newly renovated home or a home with smokers, placing pothos is most suitable. According to environmental scientists, one pot of pothos in a room of 8-10 sq m is equivalent to an air purifier, showing that the air purification ability of pothos is quite strong.

2. Releasing oxygen: Pothos can make a room ventilated and breathable. Why say this? In fact, plants themselves also breathe, absorbing carbon dioxide and exhaling oxygen. Pothos is generally placed by the window. When it is too windy outside, it blocks some of it; if there is no wind, it itself will release new oxygen. The oxygen enters our living space, making us more energetic and the indoor air fresher.

3. Absorbing cooking fumes: Pothos can also remove kitchen odors. Placing pothos in the kitchen can effectively absorb some of the cooking fume odors caused by stir-frying and cooking, clear some other kitchen odors, and keep our kitchen air fresh.
