Hydroponic pothos has yellow leaves and won't grow big - what to do? One trick makes it grow to 3 m in a year, oily green
Pothos is a very common household potted plant. It is not only beautiful and elegant, but can also absorb harmful gases such as formaldehyde from the air, so it is deeply loved by people. Pothos is very easy to grow. It is also called the "flower of life". It can be grown hydroponically or in soil, so which method is better? Let us analyze it.
1. Hydroponics
Many friends like to cut a few sections of pothos and put them in an exquisite water bottle, placed on an office desk, study desk or in the living room. It is delicate and clean, full of green, and very beautiful.
Hydroponic pothos grows 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 it can only be supplied for pothos growth by regularly adding nutrient solution. However, if the nutrient solution is not supplied in time or the nutrients are 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.
2. Soil culture
Pothos likes loose and fertile soil. In loose and breathable soil, the roots of pothos can spread out and absorb sufficient nutrients. Only when the roots are good will pothos grow healthily.
Pothos likes an environment with sufficient scattered light. You can place pothos in a place with scattered light for care, and pothos will grow very well.
Pothos likes a warm and humid environment and grows very vigorously in summer. Keep the soil moist and apply thin fertilizer water two to three times a month, and pothos will grow rapidly, and in one year it can shoot up several meters long.
Therefore, soil culture is the best way to grow pothos. However, radishes and greens are each loved by different people. Both hydroponics and soil culture have their fans, depending on personal preference.
