Summer is here, and many plant lovers like to keep some potted plants at home, especially hydroponic greenery. The lush foliage not only decorates the room, but also purifies the air and regulates the indoor temperature and humidity. Hydroponic plants also have higher ornamental value, and they are cleaner, with no soil dropping around the house. Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a great hydroponic green plant, symbolizing happiness and doing a superb job of purifying the air, but because of the high summer temperatures, many plant lovers find their hydroponic pothos easily develops yellow leaves.

Today the editor will introduce a little trick: how to grow pothos in summer without yellow leaves. It is super simple. Add this to your hydroponic pothos and it will root fast, without yellow leaves, staying lush green all year round! When growing pothos hydroponically, we can add one expired aspirin tablet to the bottle. Aspirin not only promotes rooting in pothos, but also prevents yellow leaves, clean and effective.

There are a few things to pay attention to when growing pothos hydroponically. First, the hydroponic bottle must be clean, and it is best to choose a transparent bottle, which not only lets you observe the water quality better, but also increases the ornamental value. You do not need to change the water often; just add some more when the water level in the bottle drops.

For hydroponic pothos, it is best not to use tap water directly. Water from your home aquarium or rainwater are both very good, and they come with nutrients of their own. If you must use tap water, then draw it out first and let it sit for a few days, until some of the components that pothos does not need have evaporated or settled, before using it for hydroponic pothos.

The most important thing for hydroponic pothos is sufficient light. We can keep it near a window, then rotate the hydroponic bottle regularly so the pothos leaves grow evenly. But when the midday sun is strong, be careful to shade it, otherwise the pothos leaves can easily get scorched. Usually you must ensure good ventilation for the pothos to grow better.

If the pothos already has yellow leaves, and it is not too serious, we can wipe the pothos leaves with leftover beer, twice a day, and they will turn green again in three or four days. If the yellowing is serious, we should remove the yellowed parts, but note that you need to leave the stem section. This way hydroponic pothos will not have yellow leaves, will fill the pot quickly, and stay lush green all year round!
