Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a very common plant, and it looks very beautiful too, appearing lush and green, adding a lot of vitality and energy to the home. Many people have grown this plant; it is quite easy to keep alive and is very suitable for beginners who are just starting to grow flowers.

But even with pothos, many problems can arise; it is not something you can just grow casually. The lush green leaves of pothos are very appealing, but some people's pothos develops yellowing leaves, and there are also cases of the plant's roots rotting away.

Once such problems appear, they are generally caused by watering too much or the room not having a good ventilation environment. At this point, you can solve it by controlling water and replacing the soil in the flowerpot. You also need to prune away all the rotten leaves, then disinfect it, and then repot it into a new flowerpot.

Note that this method is only effective on the premise that the pothos roots are still alive, so you must discover the problem in time and always pay attention to it. After transplanting, place it in a well-lit, ventilated environment and give it some time; it will gradually recover well. Be careful to prune away the bad leaves cleanly, otherwise they will infect the healthy branches and leaves.

Then what is most needed is water control. In summer, there is no need to fertilize; at this time, the most important thing is water control. If you do not know how much water to give, put clean water in the saucer under the flowerpot and let it absorb it on its own. Also avoid exposure to the scorching sun; scorching sun exposure will cause yellow spots to appear on the leaves.

The branches and leaves of pothos can grow very long, but this is not a very good phenomenon, because then its leaves will be too densely packed, and in hot and humid weather it will cause the plant to rot due to lack of ventilation. In this situation, you also need to pay attention to pruning, and the cut branches can be replanted in a flowerpot to grow.

As long as you pay attention to watering and pruning, and then place it in a very good environment suitable for its growth, it will grow better and better in return for your careful care. A well-grown pothos in one pot can grow to several meters, circling around the wall once. Doesn't that give you a great sense of accomplishment?

Overall, this is still a plant that is very suitable for beginners at growing flowers and very easy to get started with.
