There are many varieties of pothos; if you have seen 3 kinds, you are a pro, and each one is easy to grow and excellent at purifying the air

When it comes to pothos, calling it the most popular houseplant is, in Shitou's view, not an exaggeration at all. Just take a look at the flower market and you will know - pothos signs are everywhere. And if you pay attention to your surroundings, there is pothos at home, pothos in the office, pothos in shopping malls..... It really is everywhere.

Pothos is popular, and naturally there is a reason for its popularity: easy to grow, cheap, air-purifying, and absorbs formaldehyde - especially in newly renovated homes, where the owner will definitely buy a few pots of pothos to place around. Today Shitou wants to share with everyone: pothos is great, but there are many varieties - see how many you have seen!

1. Green-leaf pothos - the most common pothos

Green-leaf pothos is the most common pothos. You could say: basically everything everyone sees is green-leaf pothos. All the leaves are green with no other variegation; it is common precisely because it is easy to grow and can be produced in batches. Green-leaf pothos can be grown in water or in soil, and as long as it gets plenty of water and appropriate light, it will grow like crazy and fill the pot. Pothos can effectively absorb harmful substances in a room such as formaldehyde and benzene.

2. Yellow-leaf pothos - the misunderstood pothos

When it comes to yellow-leaf pothos, it is actually a pothos that is very easily misunderstood. This is because its natural color is yellow and its leaves are yellow, so some people wonder why their pothos always has yellow leaves, and mistakenly think they are not growing it well. This yellow-leaf pothos is a variety of green-leaf pothos. Because its leaves contain relatively less chlorophyll, but it is a healthy plant, it can still absorb formaldehyde and benzene-type substances, even more strongly.

3. Variegated pothos - pothos full of patterns

When it comes to variegated pothos, as the words suggest, everyone knows its leaves have irregular stripes and spots. It is also a variety of green-leaf pothos. Although its name and appearance are different, its growing methods and conditions are no different from the above two at all. It is just that variegated pothos is somewhat rarer, and as for purifying the air, the effect is the same.

4. Large-leaf pothos - leaves bigger than your face

The characteristic of large-leaf pothos is that its leaves are very large. Compared with other pothos, there is no difference in growth characteristics; it is just that large-leaf pothos is generally displayed as a larger ornamental plant and is often placed in relatively spacious places.
