Give your pothos a spoonful of this water, no yellow leaves, no root rot, and it will burst out of the pot in 1 month
More and more people like growing pothos. It is not only beautiful, but also purifies the air and absorbs formaldehyde. However, in the process of caring for it, the problems we often encounter are yellow leaves, root rot, or sparse vines and very slow growth. So what should we do about these problems?
1. Apple peel soak water
The fruit peels left after we eat fruit usually go straight into the trash. Actually, we can make use of them to grow pothos. It is a healthy and pollution-free green fertilizer. Apple peel is the skin of the apple. It has a protective function and is also nutritious, containing a large amount of vitamin C and other nutrients. It could not be better for growing pothos.
Before using it on pothos, soak the apple peel in cold water for 1-2 days, which is also equivalent to fermentation. After it has soaked out some color, it can be used to water the pothos or wipe the pothos leaves. Another method is to put some apple peel in the pothos pot: one layer of soil, one layer of apple peel, then another layer of soil, and continue adding apple peel. Stack three or four layers like this, and after a few months the apple peel will rot and become nutrients, so your pothos will not lack nutrition for a whole year!
2. Orange peel soak water
After eating oranges, do not throw the orange peel directly into the trash. We can use it to soak in water and make a nutrient solution for pothos. Orange peel has many uses. It can not only remove odors, but can also be soaked in water to make flower fertilizer for pothos. Orange peel is rich in vitamin C and essential oils, and using it to grow pothos can promote rapid growth.
Add brown sugar and water to the orange peel at a ratio of 10:1:3, mix them together, and seal the mixture in a plastic bottle. Put the plastic bottle under direct sunlight for about 2-3 months, and it will be completely rotted and matured. Then it can also be used as a very good fertilizer to grow pothos. It can also prevent yellow leaves and root rot, and make it burst out of the pot in 1 month!
