How to grow pothos? These care methods are simple and practical
I. Growing environment:
1. Soil: Pothos needs loose, breathable soil with good drainage, so during the growing process it needs to be loosened frequently.
2. Temperature: The most suitable temperature for growing pothos is 15°C-30°C, and even in winter the lowest temperature should not be below 10°C, because only in this way can the pothos grow better.
3. Water: Keeping the soil moist is the best growing condition, and there is no need to water too much; too much watering will cause the roots of the pothos to rot.
4. Fertilizing: Proper fertilization is also very helpful for the growth of pothos, but note that pothos does not need fertilizing in winter.
II. Propagation methods:
1. Cutting propagation: Choose relatively robust branches from the center of the pothos, with a length of preferably around ten-odd cm, and insert them into loose, fertile soil. Note that the soil should not contain fertilizer, and direct sunlight should be avoided.
2. Water cutting propagation: Cut off two similar branches of the pothos, then place them in a cool place for about 20 minutes, and after the wounds have dried, put them in water.
III. Precautions:
1. Pay attention to ventilation: Many people know that pothos likes shady spots, but few people know that pothos needs frequent ventilation; if it is not ventilated, the leaves will easily turn yellow.
2. Dealing with yellow leaves: The most common problem when growing pothos is the appearance of yellow leaves. In this case, you can cut them off from the middle of the leaf stalk. Do not directly pull off the yellow leaves. The purpose of doing this is to avoid water loss caused by the wound, which can lead to more yellow leaves.
