It only takes 1 method for a pothos to grow to 100 meters

Pothos can effectively absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde and toluene. Many plant lovers like to keep one or two pots at home, but quite a few say their own pothos just won't grow. So how do we make our pothos grow a bit faster? Today I'll introduce 5 little methods to you - learning just one is enough!

- Fish tank water -

Fish feces are a natural fertilizer, and since they are diluted by a large amount of water, the concentration is very weak. You can directly water pothos with the water changed out of a fish tank without worrying about fertilizer burn. Some people even grow the plant directly in the filter compartment as a water culture, and the pothos grows like crazy!

No need to worry about lighting - the fish tank light also provides a certain amount of light, which is enough for pothos.

One plant lover built a fish pond at home and kept a few koi in it, planting pothos in the filter compartment. Relying on the light from a nearby window and a supplementary grow light, it covered the entire fish pond in just one year. Such a wealthy-looking pothos makes people envious.

This plant lover planted it directly in the fish tank, using thumbtacks and string to guide it, and the pothos covered the whole living room.

- Rice washing water -

Rice washing water contains protein, starch, vitamins and so on. Used to water flowers, it makes plants more lush. Generally use the water from the first two rinses, pour it into a bottle, put the lid on and leave it in the sun for about 7 days before use. When you see no sediment at the bottom of the bottle and the water has turned yellow, it's ready; just keep the cap loosely on. If you have orange peel at home, you can add a little too, and the smell won't be unpleasant.

A pothos that a plant lover has grown for 1 year - rice washing water really is a powerful tool for growing pothos.

- Fish intestine fertilizer -

Blanch fish innards or chicken and duck innards in hot water in a pot to make them half-cooked, then drain and set aside. Then spread a layer of humus soil in a foam box, put the innards at the very bottom, spread a layer of soil, then cover with a layer of vegetable leaves and fruit peels, and finally seal it with a thick layer of soil.

Put the lid on the foam box and wait for it to ferment. After a few months, dig it open to see whether it has turned black. If it has, move it out into the sun to dry, and by autumn you can bury it beside the flower pots to use. Make another batch in autumn, and you can keep using it the following spring.

- Place it up high -

Place the pothos up high and let it hang down naturally - you'll find it grows very fast! This may be related to the distribution of auxin in the plant. You might as well give it a try.

But if it's too high, watering becomes a problem too, so a normal height is better.

- Beer -

Beer is rich in nutrients such as sugar, protein, amino acids and phosphate, and also contains a large amount of carbon dioxide gas. Diluted and used to water flowers or wipe leaves, it benefits flower growth and makes the leaves glossy green.

Some plant lovers use undiluted beer, which may cause leaf burn and mold. It's better to use diluted beer.

A pothos watered with diluted beer water grew leaves up to 15cm long.

Wiping the leaf surface with diluted beer makes the leaf veins clear and shiny bright!

Generally just use leftover beer or the cheapest beer. Don't use draft beer - the sugar content is too high, and there's also a lot of live yeast, which easily grows mold.
