Summer is here, and in this hot season, a touch of green feels simply heavenly and utterly relaxing. You can keep a few green plants at home; they not only purify the air but are also lovely foliage plants. There are quite a lot of foliage plants, such as lucky bamboo, hanging basket plants, asparagus fern, pothos and so on, all of which are fairly easy-to-grow potted green plants. Pothos especially can easily fill a pot every time you grow one. But there are always some "plant killers" who manage to lose one pot of pothos after another. Today, the editor will teach you a trick: no yellow leaves, and it will grow to fill the pot in just 30 days.

Pothos symbolizes resilience and kindness, and keeping watch over happiness. Pothos is a shade-loving plant and does not need much light, so in summer it must never be exposed to direct sunlight, because overly strong light will cause yellow leaves and withered stems and leaves. Most importantly, it will scorch the leaves, causing yellow spots on them and seriously ruining their ornamental value.

Pothos comes in vining and non-vining types. A vining one can be grown hanging up, which is more suitable for beginners to care for, because beginners are not very good at controlling how much water they give. When grown hanging, excess water will drain out, and the roots will not rot from waterlogged soil. And when it hangs down, it can even serve as a door curtain, helping to regulate the indoor temperature.

If you keep the pothos on a balcony, then it is recommended to spray the leaves with clean water every day. This can wash the dust off the leaves, improve their ornamental look, and also provide the leaves with plenty of moisture. As for leftover beer from home, we can collect it to spray or wipe the leaves; the more you wipe, the fatter and greener they get. Many flower lovers are used to feeding pothos with rice water, but remember it must be well fermented, otherwise it not only has no effect but also breeds pests, rots the roots and causes the soil to harden.

Pothos is suited to rough-and-ready management, but it still needs repotting once every three years, because after long use the soil no longer has much nutritional value. Pothos likes loose, airy soil, and in daily life, sunflower seed shells and peanut shells can all be put into the soil to grow plants. For pothos, it is recommended to prune once a year to keep its shape looking nice.
