Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a common foliage plant. Its leaves stay glossy green all year round, and keeping it at home brings plenty of life to a space. Pothos is also a natural plant purifier that can absorb dust from indoor air. Pothos is relatively easy to grow - a single stem is enough to keep it alive. Many gardeners propagate pothos from cuttings and can grow a large batch within half a month.

Pothos also tends to develop minor problems, such as yellow leaves and root rot. Once the leaves turn yellow, the plant looks terrible and loses all its vitality. So it is hoped that gardeners can master a few small tips to keep their pothos lush and green.

To grow pothos well and prevent yellow leaves is actually very simple. Just apply "it" once a week, and you can ensure the pothos leaves will no longer turn yellow. And that thing is "monopotassium phosphate". This fertilizer contains phosphorus and potassium. Both are substances essential for photosynthesis in plant leaves. When a plant lacks trace elements, its roots shrivel and its leaves turn yellow.

Monopotassium phosphate is usually in powder or granular form. It needs to be dissolved in water and diluted before use.

To be honest, monopotassium phosphate fertilizer is still easier to use than organic fertilizers such as barnyard manure or decomposed soybean cake. The nutrients in this fertilizer are guaranteed, and the roots absorb it relatively quickly. Besides diluting monopotassium phosphate and watering it onto the plant, you can also use it to wipe the leaves of pothos, so that yellow leaves can turn green again. In addition, remember this: every time you water with monopotassium phosphate, stop watering for the first two days beforehand, so the fertilizer's effect can be absorbed quickly.

That is all for the knowledge about pothos care. If you have any other good tips during the care process, gardeners, feel free to share them in the comments below, so more gardeners can learn from your experience and everyone can grow lush green pothos.
