Keeping pothos happy comes down to this one trick: a pot full of white roots and vines growing like crazy

Grow pothos well with just this one trick: a pot full of big white roots, vines shooting out fast, growing "wild"

Many flower lovers still struggle to grow pothos well, so Xiao Qi is sharing a simple trick. Do as I say, and your vines will grow like crazy with no problem.

Pothos is very easy to grow, and it is also the most commonly kept indoor green plant in most homes today. Its light requirements are not strict; as long as it gets some appropriate scattered light, it can grow very well. When growing pothos, remember one thing: do not let the temperature get too low. Keeping indoor temperatures above 10°C in winter is enough for it to overwinter safely.

For its potting mix, use slightly acidic soil if possible, and the soil must be loose and breathable. Pothos fears root rot most of all. Too much watering and compacted, non-breathable soil will cause root rot. Especially if indoor ventilation is poor, this can lead to root rot, spots on the leaves, or rotting leaves. Soil that is not loose and not breathable is the main cause of these problems.

The principle for watering pothos is to water thoroughly once the soil has dried out. Xiao Qi waters pothos only when the leaves have wilted and become soft, giving it a thorough watering all at once. Two or three hours after watering, the leaves perk up again. Because Xiao Qi grows too many plants, it is impossible to check the potting soil all the time; watering only after the leaves wilt is no problem at all. And they grow very well. Xiao Qi made a video earlier, and you can go watch it; they really do grow great. At the time, it was a pot that had been grown poorly. Now it is growing very well.

During the pothos growing season, apply fertilizer regularly at least two to three times a month. For fertilizer choice, choose a mixed fertilizer mainly high in nitrogen and potassium if possible. It is best not to supplement nitrogen fertilizer alone. With excess nitrogen fertilizer, the leaves grow large, but the plant and root system cannot get supplements of other elements, so it will grow poorly or appear unhealthy due to a lack of other elements. Choose a fertilizer mainly high in nitrogen and potassium, meaning high nitrogen and potassium content while also containing other fertilizer elements. That way it can absorb evenly; and with high nitrogen and potassium content, it absorbs more, so its branches and leaves grow well and fast.

Actually, pothos is just this easy to grow: fertilize regularly. Give it some appropriate scattered light, keep the potting soil watered thoroughly once it dries, and it is best to maintain good ventilation. With loose, breathable potting soil, growing pothos well is no problem at all.
