Clever tricks for moving into a new home and absorbing toxins: grow this plant to purify the air

At the age of thirty, many friends have settled down and established themselves, and now have a safe harbor of their own in the city. I have noticed that more and more friends like to keep some plants, flowers, or pets in their spare time, which adds a bit of fun to their busy urban lives.

Yesterday, on the weekend, I went to a friend's house to hang out. She recently moved into a new home, 89 sq m, with a rather small balcony and no courtyard, and it feels quite cramped for a family of three. But she is someone who loves growing flowers, so she asked me what flowers would be suitable for a home layout like hers. Today, I will introduce a trailing plant that is great for hanging, and very suitable for growing in a new home.

Golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum): a shade-loving plant that likes scattered light and is very tolerant of shade. It lives as soon as it meets water, and because of its tenacious vitality, it is called the "flower of life." Its trailing stems and leaves are very suitable for hanging. Golden pothos also has a strong ability to absorb formaldehyde and is excellent at purifying the air, making it the top choice for growing when moving into a new home.

Summer is the peak growing season for golden pothos. With proper care, it can grow several meters long. The secret to making golden pothos grow like crazy in summer is: water and fertilizer.

1. Keep plenty of moisture: Golden pothos has fairly high water requirements, and improper watering can easily cause yellow leaves and root rot. The principle for watering golden pothos is: do not water when the soil is not dry, and water thoroughly when it is completely dry. Be sure to note: there must be no waterlogging. Summer is quite hot, so generally it needs watering once every 2-3 days.

2. Plenty of nutrients: Fertilizing is also one of the reasons golden pothos grows like crazy. Every flower lover who grows golden pothos dreams of it growing into a waterfall. Many friends still do not have the habit of buying fertilizer, and instead like to use water from their home fish tank or rice-washing water directly to feed their golden pothos. It also grows very well this way, with shiny green leaves, and it has even grown one or two meters.

Now that summer has arrived, watering directly with rice-washing water or fish tank water can easily attract mosquitoes. Personally, I do not like this, especially for families with babies. These mosquitoes carry a lot of bacteria, and babies are prone to getting sick if bitten. To fertilize golden pothos, you can choose a safe and environmentally friendly organic fertilizer specially made for golden pothos.
