Hydroponically grown pothos will grow very well in the early stage, but as the roots become more and more numerous and the branches become longer and longer, there are no nutrients in the water, so nutrients can only be supplied for pothos growth by regularly adding nutrient solution. However, if the nutrient solution is not supplied in time or the nutrient content is insufficient, pothos will develop yellow leaves, the leaves will become smaller and smaller, and growth will be too slow. Moreover, if the water is not changed in time, yellow leaves and wilting will also occur. Therefore, long-term hydroponic pothos is not recommended.
