Keep pothos away from these pitfalls in summer for lush, vigorous growth
The hot summer has gradually arrived, and many gardening enthusiasts are starting to worry about whether their flowers and plants can make it through the summer safely, but those growing pothos at home need not worry much at all, because summer is exactly its peak growing season, and with just a little attention, the pothos will grow like crazy.
Avoid watering at the wrong time
Summer temperatures are very high, so when watering plants you must avoid the hotter times of day. For example, never water between noon and 3 o'clock, and also avoid watering when it is rather muggy and hot, otherwise it can hinder the plant's root growth. Also, when watering with tap water, you can let it sit in the sun first to let the chlorine evaporate before using it.
Avoid plant stands
When growing plants indoors, most people use plant stands to hold their flowers and plants. Metal stands in particular, when exposed to strong sunlight, become hotter than the indoor temperature. If you place pothos on such a stand, it will make the roots struggle to breathe, which is bad for the pothos's growth.
Avoid direct strong sunlight
Pothos is a classic shade-tolerant plant that only needs a little scattered light, so in summer you must avoid direct sunlight, otherwise the pothos leaves easily turn yellow and lose all vitality. So when growing pothos in summer, be sure to keep it in a place with a suitable room temperature and plenty of scattered light.
Avoid moving it around frequently
Summer temperatures are high, and many people put their pothos under the air-conditioning vent, or move it here and there to different spots. This is also bad for the plant's growth, because when you constantly change its location, the pothos has no time to adapt to the surrounding light and growing conditions, so it ends up looking listless.
