There's an art to watering pothos, and this kind of water is no ordinary water

Many plant lovers grow pothos, I'm sure. This plant is very easy to care for if you know how, but if you don't, a large number of people end up with yellow leaves, root rot and withered plants. Today Huahua introduces 2 kinds of water that will guarantee your pothos grows super fast and super lush and green.

Pothos likes a semi-shaded environment, so it is usually kept indoors in a bright, clean spot by a window. Normally you should open the windows to ensure enough light, and also keep the air moving. Remember never to put it outside in the blazing sun, or the pothos will definitely wilt.

What exactly are the 2 kinds of water, you ask?

Nutrient water

For pothos to grow fast and produce long vines, it first needs nitrogen fertilizer. Urea is the main source of nitrogen, and after using it the pothos vines grow especially fast. But urea has one downside: it smells rather unpleasant and is not an organic fertilizer. For home growing, it is still better to use organic fertilizer. And for the pothos stems and leaves to be thick and sturdy, you also need to add phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to boost the plant's resistance. Using urea alone will only make the vines longer.

You can use an organic fertilizer specially made for pothos; its nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content is just right for pothos growth, photosynthesis, rooting and budding. You can use organic fertilizer fermented from sugarcane bagasse, which has a fairly rich and balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content and is enriched with various organic matter. Dilute it with water 800 times and water the potting soil of your rose plants with it. Generally use it once every half a month. In spring and autumn, when pothos grows vigorously, you can use it once a week.

If you live in the countryside and your pothos is growing outdoors, you can suitably apply a little urea, then add potassium dihydrogen phosphate diluted 1000 times once every half a month, and that will supply the main nutrients pothos needs. You might even get your pothos to climb up a tree, because pothos grown in the ground grows even more vigorously, though it is best to plant it beside a large tree.

Sprouting water

For pothos to grow lush, besides nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, it also needs salicylic acid to promote budding. Willow branches contain a fair amount of salicylic acid. You can pick young branches, crush them with a stone, then soak them in water for 1 day and use this water to water the pothos. If you don't have this option, you can also dilute white sugar with water 100 times, or vinegar with water 50 times, and water the potting soil with it; this also helps with rooting and sprouting. Of course, a professional organic nutrient solution for pothos contains everything, so you won't have to worry about the pothos failing to root and sprout, and it is also fairly simple and convenient to use.

In addition, we should also prune the pothos appropriately, cutting off the smaller, weaker and withered vines. If the pothos stems and leaves are not sturdy enough, you should also shorten the vines appropriately, so that more side vines branch out and more new buds are likely to grow.
