This pothos vine was picked up on the street by a gardening enthusiast, and 2 months later it was grown into this, truly a master

I believe everyone is growing pothos, right? This foliage plant is easy to grow and easy to keep alive! Put a small cutting in water, and after a few months it might even fill out a pot. Of course, some gardening enthusiasts are not good at growing pothos, either the leaves turn yellow and it dies, or it just does not grow bigger and does not fill out a pot. Why is it that when others grow pothos it is so easy to keep? Well, I just saw a post where a gardening enthusiast picked up a pothos vine on the street, and after growing it for two months it actually filled out a pot!

This is the pothos vine that the gardening enthusiast showed off after picking it up, and it is quite long! Anyone else on the street would not pay attention to this thing, but for gardening enthusiasts who love growing flowers and green plants, this is also a treasure! By the way, it also tests your ability to grow pothos!

Next, let us see how the gardening enthusiast did it?

Step one: Cut the pothos cuttings

Just by looking at these cut pothos segments, you can tell the gardening enthusiast is very experienced! Each pothos cutting was cut to roughly the same length, and all were "cut at an angle"! The key point is that each pothos cutting kept a node in the middle. Only by cutting pothos cuttings this way are they easy to root when potted in soil.

Step two: Insert the pothos cuttings. Just follow the picture. In addition, you need to pay attention to the cutting medium for pothos. The cutting medium should be loose, breathable, well-drained loam or sandy soil rich in humus; vermiculite is best, as this makes rooting fast and the survival rate high. Before inserting, use 2% formalin or 5% potassium permanganate to disinfect the soil well.

Step three: Management after cutting

After cutting pothos, be careful to keep the soil moist and the air temperature relatively high. Soil moisture of around 50% is suitable. Only in this way will pothos root quickly. To maintain humidity, you can spray a little water on the cuttings with a spray bottle every day. Another point to note is sun protection; it is best to shade about 80%. This way, some scattered light is good for the synthesis of chlorophyll in the leaves and for rapid leaf growth.

At this point it is basically certain that the pothos has been kept alive. Moreover, after the above treatment, it usually roots in about three weeks, and at this time you can appropriately increase the light a bit. To make pothos grow quickly and avoid yellow leaves, be sure to remember to apply more nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer. You can dilute monopotassium phosphate and spray it on. You can also crush everyday eggshells and bury them in the flower pot.

Propagating pothos is just this simple; growing five or six pots in half a year is as easy as playing. That is all for today's article. If you have a better method for cutting pothos, gardening enthusiasts are welcome to comment below.
