With foliage plants, what you're looking at is their lush green leaves. If the leaves turn yellow and dry up, the plant's ornamental value drops. So whether you're growing pothos, lucky bamboo, spider plant or any other kind of foliage plant, you need to keep the leaves glossy green.


Actually, if you want to keep the leaves of foliage plants glossy green, you just need to care for them gradually according to their own growth habits - after all, plants like pothos are not difficult to grow. The occasional yellow leaf also has a cause. For example, as we're sharing with you today, if the placement is wrong, the plant's leaves will also turn yellow.

1. Potted plants should not be placed on either side of the TV cabinet

As everyone knows, TVs emit radiation, so whether it's pothos, lucky bamboo or spider plant, if placed on either side of the TV cabinet, over time the leaves will turn yellow. Solution: move these foliage plants away and place them somewhere that receives scattered light and has good ventilation.

2. Potted plants should not be placed in dark, damp corners

All foliage plants need to carry out photosynthesis. In a dark environment, with no light, plants cannot synthesize chlorophyll. So the leaves will naturally turn yellow. Therefore, when growing potted plants indoors, it's best to place them in a bright spot. Besides dark corners being unsuitable for potted plants, damp places are also unsuitable, such as bathrooms. In damp places, the air humidity is relatively high, and many flowering potted plants cannot handle it.

How to grow pothos:

Light: let pothos receive 4-5 hours of scattered light every day. Water: watering two to three times a week is enough; in addition, you can also spray a little water in the morning and evening. Fertilizing: pothos normally doesn't need much fertilizing - just apply a decomposed soybean fertilizer once every two or three months.

How to grow lucky bamboo?

Lucky bamboo is generally grown in water. If growing it in water, remember to encourage rooting in the early stages of caring for lucky bamboo. Lucky bamboo that doesn't root easily turns yellow and dies. Before rooting, you can add some rooting powder to the bottle. Change the water once every three days. After rooting, normal care is all that's needed - no need to change the water, just top it up when the water gets low. As for fertilizing, lucky bamboo just needs an occasional application of potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

How to grow spider plant?

Spider plant care is the same as pothos - fairly rough and ready; water normally by letting the soil dry out between waterings. In daily care, besides keeping it in scattered light, remember to fertilize once a month to maintain the spider plant's growth needs. You can use decomposed soybeans or organic fertilizers such as barnyard manure and chicken manure. In addition, spider plant roots grow very vigorously, so it's recommended to repot at least once a year - repotting in spring or autumn is fine. That way you'll grow spider plant well, and it may even bloom.
