Pothos not growing well in summer? Add a little of this to the pot, and it will stay evergreen all year round and grow to 2 m tall
Summer is here, and many plant lovers like to keep a few potted flowers at home, which not only decorate the room but also purify the air. They cultivate the body and the mind, but because of the high summer temperatures, evaporation is relatively fast in summer. So in summer, many plant lovers fail to grow potted flowers well, especially pothos. In spring, pothos can be grown by breaking off a branch, throwing it into a pot, and it will sprout, take root and fill the pot, but in the hot summer, it not only fails to grow but also tends to develop yellow leaves.
Today, the editor will introduce a little trick to everyone. The main reason pothos does not grow well in summer is improper fertilizing and watering. Some plant lovers do not water their pothos for an entire year, and over time, yellow leaves are inevitable because of nutrient deficiency. We can use this method to supplement nutrients for pothos. We can collect the usual sunflower seed shells, then crush them and mix them into the soil. Of course, putting them directly in the flower pot is also fine. During watering, the moisture in the sunflower seed shells can be released to supply the pothos for absorption, and the sunflower seed shells can also improve the drainage and air permeability of the soil, so as to prevent excessive watering from causing water accumulation at the roots.
When we care for pothos in daily life, we must ensure ventilation and air permeability, so keeping it by the window is a very good choice. Some plant lovers like to keep it next to the computer, which is also fine, but because computer radiation is relatively strong, it should be moved outside regularly to get some air. Usually, we can spray water on the leaves to maintain sufficient moisture, which can also clean the leaves. After the growing season, prune the branches appropriately, which can concentrate nutrients and increase its ornamental value.
