What to do if your pothos grows slowly in summer? One trick to make it grow like crazy

When growing pothos at home, you always want it to grow lush and green, and sometimes even climb all over the wall. We always say that when it comes to houseplants, other people's are always better. If your pothos is not growing well, this article may help you.

Reasons pothos grows slowly: Insufficient nutrients (too little nitrogen fertilizer). The main reason pothos grows very slowly actually comes down to nutrients, including watering and fertilizing. If, when growing pothos, water and fertilizer cannot keep up, its growth will lack nutrients. At this point, slow growth will appear, with no obvious increase. During the pothos growing season, the focus should be mainly on nitrogen fertilizer, which will speed up growth. Of course, you also need to pay attention to root health; if the roots are poor, the pothos will not grow well either.

Environmental issues: The environmental factors are mainly light and temperature. To make pothos grow fast, there must be no direct sunlight, but it also cannot stay in a dark environment for a long time. If there is a window, you can install a screen mesh, so the pothos can grow healthily.

If your pothos grows slowly or turns yellow, you can water it once every 7 days and spray the leaves once every 5 days. This will make the pothos lush and green, and it will no longer turn yellow!

Restricted growth: It is also possible that the pothos growth is restricted. A flowerpot that is too small or soil problems can all adversely affect root growth, thereby causing slow growth in pothos.

What should you do if pothos grows slowly? Add enough fertilizer. Only when fertilizer keeps up will pothos grow fast, so you must pay attention to fertilizer. When repotting or potting up, be sure to add some base fertilizer, and during the growing period carry out reasonable topdressing, mainly with foliar fertilizer. You can use an organic nutrient solution to promote roots, then spray the leaves to keep the pothos lush and green. If you do not mind the smell, you can ferment rice-washing water, which is also great!

Scientific watering: Water is also a very important point. The main thing is to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. In spring, summer and autumn, it is generally watered once a week, and when watering, it should be watered thoroughly. It is best to spray some water on the pothos leaves. Generally, water once every 7 days and spray the leaves once every 5 days.

Change the soil: Soil and flowerpots are also very important aspects. When growing pothos, be sure to choose loose, breathable soil. It can be a special nutrient soil or a homemade mix. At the bottom of the flowerpot, it is best to spread a layer of expanded clay pellets to increase air and water permeability. Using humus soil will work even better. Humus soil contains very high organic matter and humic acid, which is very suitable for pothos growth.
