Want your pothos to grow several meters long? Moving its position is the key

Pothos is a vine plant with well-developed aerial roots, evergreen all year round, with drooping branches. It is an excellent foliage plant, very suitable as a home decoration, and it also absorbs harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene, purifying the air, and is deeply loved by many flower enthusiasts.

Some enthusiasts' pothos can grow to several meters, very beautiful, while others have kept theirs for a long time yet see hardly any growth. What is going on?

I heard an enthusiast say that if you want your pothos to grow several meters long, then place the pot up high or tilt it, and most of them will grow faster and very long, and growing 3 m long is no problem at all. I do not know whether there is any scientific basis, but if you also like your pothos to grow very long, you might as well give it a try.

Some everyday care knowledge for pothos:

1. Light

Pothos is fairly easy to care for. It is a shade-loving plant that likes scattered light and hates strong light. It must not be kept in a place without light for a long time, otherwise it will become leggy, with longer internodes and a sparse plant, reducing its ornamental value. And as summer arrives, the light becomes stronger and stronger, easily scorching the leaves and making them yellow and curled, so shade it properly; you can move it to a bright indoor spot or keep it on an east-facing balcony.

2. Water

Pothos likes a humid environment. In summer, water evaporates quickly, so water it in time. When you see signs of the potting soil turning pale, water it thoroughly, but never let water accumulate, as this easily causes yellow leaves and root rot. You can spray some water on the leaves more often each day to increase humidity, which can make the leaves more glossy.

3. Fertilizing

During its growing season, pothos needs enough nitrogen fertilizer. You can apply some diluted nitrogen fertilizer solution every week, or bury some fully cooked soybean granules into the potting soil. Be careful not to overdo it; this can make pothos grow quickly.

Pothos is fairly often accompanied by yellowing and falling leaves. Each month you can spray a 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves as a supplementary fertilizer, which can make the pothos leaves greener and more glossy.

That is all for pothos care. If you enthusiasts have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. If you want to learn more about flower growing, you can follow Huajianke!
