How to grow large-leaf pothos: a different kind of pothos that can still be grown well

Friends who have grown pothos must have a big question mark: why do other people's pothos grow so large, and why is there such a big difference when the growing methods are the same? Today let's solve this long-standing puzzle and teach everyone how to grow large-leaf pothos well~

Large-leaf pothos

First of all, large-leaf pothos is not just a pothos with better growth, but another variety within the pothos family. If you imagine that your ordinary pothos at home will mutate, that is a bit difficult, so friends should just grow your own pothos well and not envy other people's large leaves, since after all it is "someone else's child," haha~

Temperature control

Large-leaf pothos originally grows in forests that are shaded year-round with dappled light, and its suitable growing temperature is between 15-25°C. In winter, keeping it above 10°C allows it to overwinter safely. Like pothos, it is suitable for indoor potted care at home.

Light management

Large-leaf pothos does not have a strong tendency toward the sun, so for indoor potted growing it can simply be placed in a spot with good ventilation and dappled light. But in the autumn and winter in the north, in order to strengthen photosynthesis, light should be appropriately increased. At noon you can put the pothos on an enclosed balcony to get some sun, or place it in a brighter spot indoors. In short, be sure to guarantee sufficient light and a suitable temperature.

Watering method

When watering large-leaf pothos, be sure to control it well. The amount of water should not be too much; spraying some water at the rooting area can reduce water evaporation. When watering, be careful not to let water accumulate, and just keep the soil moist. In autumn and winter, the amount of watering should be controlled according to room temperature. When the temperature is low, water evaporates more slowly, so watering should be reduced, using half the previous amount. Even if the temperature rises, water the pot less, and it is best to let it seep through the central moss pole.

Fertilizer supply

Large-leaf pothos has difficulty absorbing ordinary inorganic fertilizer, so it is necessary to use fertilizer specially made for pothos, applying it once every half month. You can buy it directly at a flower shop; they all have it. Fertilizing pothos is also seasonal. Before winter begins, spray a small amount of liquid inorganic fertilizer, generally once every two weeks. After winter begins, mainly apply foliar fertilizer, spraying the special fertilizer directly on the leaf surface; the leaf surface will receive the fertilizer nutrients through the stomata.

Finally, flower language: large-leaf pothos grows relatively fast and can be managed extensively. In summer care, spray water on the leaves more often, fertilize once every 10 days, and prune appropriately. Large-leaf pothos is very easily infected by pests and diseases, which affects plant growth. You can use alcohol to kill insects and rinse with clean water.
