Pothos and ivy growing slowly? Three tricks to teach you how to quickly grow them into a waterfall covering the wall

Pothos and ivy both have very strong climbing abilities. For people who often grow flowers, growing them into a waterfall covering the wall is not difficult at all, but for many beginners it seems a bit hard. The reason is that they do not understand their growth habits and care methods. Today the editor will share three care methods with everyone, which can make pothos and ivy grow quickly, and growing them into a waterfall will no longer be difficult.

1. If you want pothos and ivy to grow into a waterfall, fertilizer water and pruning are indispensable. Many flower lovers say, I also fertilize often, and I also water often, but they just grow slowly. That is because the method you use is wrong. Watering and fertilizing need to be used together to play the greatest role. There is no need to fertilize separately at all. Each time you water, do not just use tap water. Usually you can buy a packet of three-element compound fertilizer and keep it at home. Before watering, add ten or eight granules of compound fertilizer to the water, wait for it to dissolve, and then use it to water the flowers. Use it instead of clear water to water the flowers, and you only need to water three times a month.

2. In addition to watering flowers with fertilizer water, frequent spraying of the leaves is also indispensable. Pothos and ivy both belong to foliage flowers with aerial roots. If you want pothos and ivy to grow fast and have thick leaves, you must ensure that the aerial roots can absorb sufficient nutrients. The main source of nutrition for aerial roots is absorbing nutrients from spraying and the air, so frequent spraying of fertilizer water can promote rapid growth of branches and leaves. For spraying fertilizer, compound fertilizer, nutrient solution, beer, etc. can all be used, but the amount should be a little less than for watering. In 1000 grams of water, only add 5--8 granules of compound fertilizer; for nutrient solution, only a few drops are needed; if using beer, add 50 grams. Do not mix them; just add one kind to the water. After it dissolves, it can be sprayed. Spray once every few days, and in this way the leaves will not only not turn yellow, but will also grow quickly.

3. Pothos and ivy both belong to foliage plants that grow in tropical high-temperature, high-humidity, semi-shaded environments. During care, they need a warm, humid environment with bright light. They need relatively high air humidity, so it is necessary to spray water frequently to increase humidity. As long as these requirements are met, they will grow quickly. In addition to these methods, proper pruning can increase the sprouting of new buds. After new buds grow in spring, pinch off the bud centers, which can promote the formation of more branches, and cut off some overly dense, thin and weak branches and dry branches. When necessary, supports, cotton rope, hanging, and other methods can be used for shaping, so as not to let the shape become messy and affect the ornamental value.
