Grow pothos this way in summer for the fastest growth, it can shoot up 1 meter in half a month!
For some friends who like growing potted plants, summer can actually be quite a headache, because many plants, even sun-loving ones, cannot take such long exposure, and for the plants themselves, after such harsh sun, they can hardly hold on. So when it comes to potted plants, which plants are suitable for growing in summer?
In fact, there are still quite a lot of plants that can be grown in summer, and the best known of them is pothos. Of course, spider plants and money trees are also fairly good choices. But when it comes to growing plants, how should you handle things so that they neither die nor grow slowly? This is also a question that people need to think about carefully.
Actually, for pothos, summer is precisely its peak growing season. Generally speaking, if you give it proper care in this kind of weather, it can achieve the amazing effect of growing one meter in half a month. As for pothos itself, many people may not know much about it: pothos is a plant of the genus Epipremnum, a large evergreen vine. It originally grows in tropical regions and has extremely strong climbing ability, native to the tropical rainforests of the Solomon Islands in Indonesia.
So its heat tolerance is quite outstanding, which is also one of the reasons pothos is so well known. In big cities, although many people like growing potted plants, due to time and work issues they simply have no time to properly care for these plants, so keeping some easy-to-grow plants like pothos at home perfectly solves this problem.
Of course, when it comes to growing pothos, the first thing you need to do is give it more sun. As said before, pothos is a plant that grows in tropical rainforests, but many people still think pothos is a plant that tolerates shade but not sun. In fact, the ancients had a saying: "Alone, yin does not grow; alone, yang does not arise." Whether to sun it or not actually needs to be looked at separately. For plants, of course you cannot keep them in the sun all the time, but giving them no sun at all is also not okay, because all things grow toward the sunlight, and when growing pothos indoors, the most important thing is that the sunlight it receives must be adequate.
Place the pothos on the sunny side of an indoor balcony or window, where it will get four to five hours of light a day. For the plant, that is enough time for photosynthesis, and in about two months, without any other special measures, it will be enough for it to grow into a big waterfall.
Of course, everything should follow its own nature. Just like pothos, it is a plant that loves water, so its direction of growth will also flow toward places with water. When growing plants at home, you can choose to grow them on shoe racks and windowsills, and spray water once in the morning and once in the afternoon each day, which can better promote the water absorption of the vines.
But in summer, water evaporates quite quickly, so you can appropriately water a bit more to keep the soil moist, and you also need to pour some water into the saucer of the pot and make sure there is water in it for a long time. After such reasonable care, you will clearly see that the pothos can grow quite fast.
So after reading this article, do you have any different suggestions for growing pothos?
