Pothos is a green plant we often grow; its leaves are fresh and green all year round, not only beautifying the environment but also purifying the air. But some friends grow pothos and within a few months only the flowerpot is left. Other friends grow pothos that grows especially lush and can even climb up walls, growing to several meters long like a green waterfall. Is there any secret,Exactly how should you grow pothos so it grows lush with glossy green leaves and climbs up the wall?

1. The soil for growing pothos,is not suitable to be coconut coir and perlite, because the soil of the pothos we buy is exactly that; this soil is only suitable for cultivating young seedlings, so after bringing the pothos home, it is best to change the soil, directly repot it, and add some ordinary garden soil, or add some leaf mold.

2. Pothos itself grows in tropical rainforests, climbing on trees or rocks. If you want the pothos at home to grow very dense and lush and even climb up the wall, then plant several plants in several pots at once and place them in the room, so that growing together they can more easily climb up the wall.

3. The pot for growing pothoscan be one with a slightly larger diameter. Although it is placed on the balcony or indoors, it must have plenty of diffused light, and the windows should be opened often to let the air circulate and give good ventilation.

4. Fertilizing pothos,choose spring and autumn; neither summer nor winter is suitable for fertilizing pothos. The fertilizer can be a small amount of diluted urea, or ordinary nutrient solution. Water from a fish tank and fully fermented rice-washing water can both be used.

5. WateringWater only when you see the soil is slightly dry. For pothos grown indoors, because the evaporation is not as great as outdoors, you must not water too much and cause waterlogging.

6. When winter comes,be sure not to place the pothos next to a windowsill or doorway, so it does not get chilled by cold wind and have its leaves frostbitten. Control watering and keep it warm in time.

7. When the pothos begins to vine and grow long, you can use tape to fix the pothos vines to the wall surface.

You can also use some hooks and string to let the pothos hang on them.

Or simply place it on a stand and let the branches trail down, which also looks very nice.

8. Grow pothos according to the tricks above, and the leaves will be glossy green and bright; anyone can grow it to climb up the wall, with vigorous growth and very beautiful.
