In summer's heat, pothos becomes a seasoned drinker, and a small sip each time sends it growing like crazy

Pothos is a natural air purifier, both attractive and easy to grow, which is why it is so widely loved. But some plant lovers run into trouble when growing pothos: it refuses to grow, its leaves turn yellow, and the leaves look shriveled and dry. How do others grow theirs so well? Actually, there are little tricks to growing pothos, and today I am going to share one with you. After using it, your pothos will grow lush and green, with leaves bigger than your palm.

This little trick is to use beer. The weather is very hot right now, and offices basically all have the air conditioning running. At a time like this, give your pothos a "beer bath," and no matter how hot it gets, the pothos's growth will not be affected.

When I use beer on pothos, I first let the beer sit for a while until all the bubbles have gone, then take out a little and dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:100. First, wet a cloth with the beer and wipe the dust off the pothos leaves. This dust can clog the pores on the surface of the leaves and affect the pothos's photosynthesis, which is why the leaves stop looking green. Then spray the leaves with the beer, and the pothos leaves will grow especially glossy and smooth.

Using beer can give pothos leaves a great effect right away, but when we grow pothos we surely want it to look good every day, naturally glossy and shiny. For that, you need to do a good job with routine care and grow the pothos's roots well. Pothos is a foliage plant and loves fertilizer, so you should fertilize it about once a week. Only when pothos is well fed will it grow well.

To fertilize pothos, you can choose an organic nutrient solution specially made for pothos. This is purely plant-fermented and fully fermented, so you do not have to worry about it fermenting again during use and burning the roots. Plant fermentation, zero added hormones. Pothos is mostly grown at home, and if there are small children in the house who like to touch everything, this kind of nutrient solution is the most suitable, as it is relatively safe and eco-friendly.

Another important factor that causes yellow leaves is the watering issue. Do not assume that because pothos can be grown in water, you should water it every day when growing it in soil, or you will water it to death. For soil-grown pothos, water only when you see the soil has dried and turned pale; it will not die if it is a bit dry. If you water while the soil is still wet, it easily causes water to accumulate in the pot, and then the pothos will get root rot and the leaves will turn yellow. If you really cannot judge whether the soil is dry or wet, you can use a plant and flower detector to help. Just insert the detector into the soil and you can see the data changes in soil moisture, fertility and humidity from your phone. It is very convenient.

After paying attention to the above 2 points, just place the pothos in a ventilated, shady spot and it will grow lush and green. If a few yellow leaves appear now and then and they are just normal metabolic yellowing, just cut them off promptly.

Pothos is really very easy to grow. During routine care, water when it needs watering, fertilize when it needs fertilizing, give it a little sunlight now and then, and if it grows too thickly you can prune the old leaves appropriately. That way it will grow better year after year.
