Learn these 4 "tough love" tricks for pothos and it will shoot up 3 meters into a green-haired princess

Fellow pothos keepers, how do you usually care for your pothos? Do you have any unique tricks? This little gardener has a neighbor whose pothos grows beautifully, just like a princess's long hair in a fairy tale, growing and growing nonstop, at least over 1 meter long. Let's see how she usually cares for it.

This is the pothos in her home, three "green-haired princesses", growing extremely well, with glossy green tender leaves, evergreen all year round. This keeper was originally a lazy person, and a lazy person raising pothos has her own unique approach: she gives it tough love. Many pothos keepers fail to grow it well precisely because they are too diligent.

1. Trick one: give pothos tough love

She says pothos needs tough love: don't water too often, just give it light and ventilation, and that's enough. Raised this way, as long as the window doesn't face north, the pothos may not fill the pot spectacularly, but it definitely won't be half-dead, let alone die. Even though she is a lazy person, after raising pothos for over a year she has figured out quite a few tricks, and "don't water too often, give it ventilation and light" is the first one.

2. Trick two: "buzz cut" to encourage branching

After that, she had fun trying stem cuttings, which also worked well. She says she has a way to make pothos grow vines: shave off all the lower leaves and keep only a few leaves at the top, so the pothos's nutrients concentrate at the top, and it will keep growing without stopping, while new leaves below, broad ones, can still grow out. Keepers who want their pothos to shape itself on a wall can learn this second trick.

3. Trick three: don't plant too densely

This newly planted pot of hers has also started growing wild. She says that to make pothos grow fast, the third point is not to plant it too densely. If the pothos in the pot is too crowded, its vines grow late, and especially the pothos in the middle basically doesn't grow at all, only the edges grow. So if we want pothos to cover a whole wall, we definitely can't plant it too densely. This is the third trick she discovered.

4. Trick four: fertilize in time

The last discovery is that she found that after winter, pothos vines grow especially fast, so keepers should apply extra fertilizer during this period, preferably with Huadongdong organic nutrient solution specially made for pothos, which promotes vigorous branching and growth and prevents yellow leaves. You should also fertilize regularly at ordinary times to guarantee the pothos's growth.

There are usually two forms of pothos growing: one is the dense type, and the other is the shaped type. The second pursues the speed of pothos growth, so fellow pothos keepers can learn from this "lazy gardener's" method. Don't let a lazy person outdo you, haha!
