Little secrets for propagating pothos and spider plants: one pot becomes ten, bursting with growth and thriving

Both spider plants and pothos can beautify the home environment, and they can also purify the air at home, absorbing formaldehyde and harmful gases. If you have spider plants or pothos at home and want to grow more, or if relatives and friends have spider plants or pothos, it is very simple, you can propagate several pots yourself. It is not troublesome at all, you just need to get hands-on:

Tips for growing spider plants:

1. Take the runners from the mother spider plant. Generally, the spikes that shoot out all carry this kind of runner with aerial roots. You can have as many as you want, and those without aerial roots can also be planted. Cut them off with scissors or pull them off directly by hand.

2. Prepare flower pots. Idle flower pots at home can all be used to grow spider plants, as long as the diameter is not too small and there are drainage holes. Prepare fertile, loose soil. You can use ordinary garden soil, mix in some leaf mold, and add some granular sand, or fine crushed coal cinders.

4. When planting the runners in the pot, just slightly bury the aerial roots in the soil, water promptly, and replenish water before the potting soil dries out.

5. In just over ten days, more roots will grow and tender green little leaves will emerge, and the spider plant will grow more and more lush.

6. The current temperature is relatively high, so place it in a ventilated, semi-shaded position, and the spider plant will grow leaves with full, emerald-green color that are also beautiful.

7. If you like hydroponics, placing it directly in a glass for hydroponic growing is also quite beautiful.

As long as relatives and friends have spider plants, whether it is green-leaf spider plant, golden-center spider plant, or golden-edge spider plant, you can pick some plantlets and some runners to bring back and grow spider plants this way. One pot becomes many pots; growing ten pots or even more is no problem, and the balcony will almost be unable to hold them all.

Tips for propagating pothos:

1. As long as a friend nearby grows pothos, or you originally have a pot of pothos at home, find these branches that have grown aerial roots.

2. Use scissors to cut them into sections of about ten centimeters, with one or two leaves each.

3. Prepare peat soil and perlite, or ordinary sandy soil. After watering thoroughly, insert the cuttings. Spray water frequently to keep them moist, and place them in a shaded place without light.

4. After just over ten days, small roots and small leaves will gradually grow. In usual care, pothos must not be watered too much; water again only after the soil dries,

5. In summer, it must not be exposed to strong sun; at other times it needs sunlight. You can use fermented rice water and fish tank water to water pothos. The pothos leaves grow glossy and shiny, and the vines can climb to more than two meters long.

Propagating pothos this way, one pot can yield many pots, and it is very simple and fun. Seeing the home filled with a feeling of lush greenery will also make your mood especially bright.
