Pothos is easy to keep alive, but do these 3 things well to get it through summer, and its leaves will shine like green lacquer and crawl all over the room

The pothos has evergreen, emerald-green leaves that are glossy and shiny, with a beautiful plant shape. It can be seen in many settings, and it has a great air-purifying function, making it very popular with people.

Although pothos is said to be easy to keep alive, if you do not pay attention to these three points, it is also very hard for it to get through summer. Do them well, and its leaves will shine like green lacquer and climb all over the room!

Which three points? Let us take a look together!

Point one

Pothos likes shade and does not have high light requirements. Strong light in particular is even less suitable for its growth. Summer temperatures are especially high, and sunlight is also intense. If you place it on a balcony, you must be sure to shade it, otherwise its leaves will wilt and wither, and turn yellow, and over time this will lead to death!

Therefore, most of the time, place it in a shady spot. Once a week, put it in the sun, and this will let it carry out photosynthesis well, making the leaves even more emerald green, glossy and not yellowing, but avoid the intense light at exactly noon.

Point two

Pothos is not tolerant of drought. Summer temperatures are especially high and evaporation is especially fast. Each time you water, you must water thoroughly, and do not water only halfway. Otherwise, before the roots can absorb the water, it has already evaporated, and watering is completely useless. Use water seeping from the tray as the standard. Otherwise, with feast one moment and famine the next, it would be strange if the pothos did not die!

In summer, you can water once a day, and spray water on the leaves once or twice, making the leaves even more crystal clear, glossy and shiny. This can also let it grow quickly, with branches and leaves climbing all over the room.

Point three

Many flower growers report that their own pothos grows sparse and scraggly. Although it does not die, it never has a time of lush branches and leaves and abundant greenery. Although it is relatively easy to keep alive, it also needs nutrients. However, fertilizing in summer has its particular requirements. If done poorly, it will likewise send it to its end.

In summer, after each fertilizing, water thoroughly once. This can dilute the fertilizer water, so that it will not burn the roots, and it can also supplement nutrients, making its leaves even more emerald green and glossy, as if painted with green lacquer, with branches and leaves growing nonstop.
