If you water pothos and spider plants with these 2 kinds of water, they will rot and turn yellow in two or three days. Don't ignore it.

Keeping a few potted green plants at home can add vitality and purify the air, so more and more flower lovers like to wander around the flower market on weekends and bring one or two plants home along the way. Some people like growing flowers, and some people only love growing green plants. They say green plants are green all year round and easy to grow!

That's what they say, but when you actually grow them, green plants are not necessarily easy to grow well. After all, growing plants is also a technical skill. Take pothos and spider plants for example. Both are very easy to grow, but they still cannot avoid occasional yellow leaves and dry tips. Next, let's share why these two plants often have yellowing leaves.

Growing flowers stresses "three parts fertilizer, seven parts water." Most flowers that are killed are killed by watering them wrong.

1. Watering "frequently" causes yellow leaves in pothos and spider plants

Because everyone knows these two plants like water, people usually water too frequently, causing water to accumulate in the potting soil. This leads to a lack of oxygen in the soil. Without oxygen, the plant roots cannot breathe and gradually rot. After the roots rot, the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients is greatly weakened. Think about it: without water and nutrients, how could the leaves not turn yellow? The originally green leaves first turn pale yellow and then withered yellow. Then the ornamental value of the potted plant is completely gone.

2. Watering "half water" causes yellow leaves in pothos and spider plants

The biggest taboo in growing flowers is not watering thoroughly. Half water means that each time you water, you stop halfway, leaving the lower part of the potting soil still very dry. In this way, the water absorbed by the plant roots is not sufficient. Especially in summer, plants consume a lot of water through evaporation and various growth processes. If water cannot be supplied at this time, it will cause the leaves to turn yellow, which is the so-called "drought yellow." If your plant's leaves turn yellow spreading from the bottom upward, it means the watering is improper. Correct it in time and check whether the roots are normal.

That is all for sharing the wrong watering practices when growing pothos and spider plants. If you also water this way, pay attention when growing plants from now on. Some flower lovers may ask, how can you know whether what you watered is "half water"? Very simple. Insert a wooden stick into the potting soil and try it, or judge by whether water seeps out from the bottom of the pot.
