Growing plants not only makes us happy, but also beautifies our homes and fills them with life. So which plants bring the most life? Of course, pothos and spider plants! Pothos and spider plants not only have glossy leaves, but also grow fast, are easy to care for, and are easy to pair with anything. Just 1 pot is enough to make your home bursting with life! If you do not believe it, come and see the pothos at the home of the flower lover "Caixia Mantian Pothos"!

Arrange pothos like this, and 1 pot can make your home stunning!

Pothos is so versatile that it can go anywhere, but how to arrange it is a technical skill. Take a quick look at the arrangements below by these pros, they are simply too beautiful!

1. Place pothos on a cabinet

If your pothos has already started to grow vines, then Huahua suggests you can place it on a taller cabinet, such as: a bookshelf, a room divider, a kitchen cabinet, and so on, letting the pothos vines hang down naturally, as beautiful as a waterfall.

2. Let pothos climb all over the wall

If your pothos vines are already very long, then you can guide its vines onto the wall and fix them with tape or string, growing a beautiful pothos wall.

3. Grow pothos into a curtain

Of course, if your pothos grows a bit longer, you can make it into a beautiful pothos curtain. Not only is it especially romantic, but it is also really cool in summer!

4. Make pothos into a wall

You can buy those planting bags, hang them on the wall, fill each planting bag with soil, and then plant pothos in each planting bag. In the end, as the pothos grows, it becomes a wall!

5. Hang pothos by the window

The ones above are all pothos that have grown very long, so does that mean pothos with short vines is not beautiful? No! No! No! Look! Hanging it by the window in a hanging pot is very beautiful!

6. Grow it into a pothos pole

Flower lovers who do not like pothos climbing everywhere can find a larger flower pot, insert a pole in the center of the pot, wrap it with water-absorbing cloth strips or palm fiber, and wind the pothos vines up it, and it becomes a beautiful pothos pole.

7. Put water-cultured pothos on the table

Not only is potted pothos beautiful, water-cultured pothos is no less impressive. Look! Cut a branch, put it in a small water-culture bottle, and it is just so fresh and refined!

You can also keep a few small fish in the water-culture bottle. Not only does it add liveliness, but the fish droppings can also provide nutrients for the pothos, making it grow faster!

Grow pothos like this, and it shoots up 3 m!

Pothos is beautiful, but your own pothos grows too slowly and cannot form the waterfall or curtain look above. What should you do? Simple! Learn 2 tricks from me, and I guarantee your pothos will shoot up!

1. Give it a little sunlight

Pothos is shade-tolerant, but sunlight will make it grow faster. In summer, indoor light duration is short, so you can place it on a south balcony or east-west balcony, ensuring 3-5 hours of light a day, and the pothos will grow super fast!

2. Apply a little slow-release fertilizer

If you want pothos to grow fast, fertilizing is essential, but summer is too hot, and fermenting rice-washing water or fruit peels easily attracts bugs, so it is better to apply a little slow-release fertilizer. It does not harm the roots, does not stink, and does not attract bugs. Just sprinkle 1 spoonful on the pot surface each month.

3. Water more and spray more water

Pothos likes water, and only with sufficient moisture can it grow fast. Especially in summer, when evaporation is high, you can water 2-3 times a week. In addition, sprinkle more water on the ground, and the aerial roots of the pothos will strive to grow toward places with water, and the vines will grow very quickly!

Propagate pothos like this, and 1 pot becomes 10 pots!

Pothos is so beautiful that no matter how many you have at home, it is never enough. So how do you turn 1 pot into 10 pots, and 10 pots into 100 pots? Simple, propagate it as below!

1. Prepare the propagation soil. It is best to mix leaf mold and perlite at a ratio of 2:1. It is loose and breathable, and not prone to root rot. Note: the soil must be disinfected by sunlight or carbendazim, otherwise the survival rate will be low!

2. Find a pothos vine and cut it into several small segments with scissors.

3. Each segment of pothos vine must have one leaf and aerial roots. After handling the branches, soak them in carbendazim for 10 minutes to disinfect and sterilize.

4. Insert the disinfected pothos branches into the soil in a circular pattern. After filling the pot, spray the surface of the potting soil until wet.

5. Place the propagated pothos in a cool, ventilated place, and do not expose it to strong sunlight for now. Spray water once a day, not too much, otherwise it easily rots.

6. After about 1 week, the pothos will sprout small buds, and after about 1 month, it will fill the pot!

Arrange spider plants like this, and they will amaze the whole home!

Compared with pothos, spider plants do not have as many arrangement methods, but you can still refer to these to make them look more beautiful!

1. Place on a tall flower stand

2. Hang the spider plant up

3. Grow it in a water-culture bottle

Do not throw away unused bottles and jars at home. Add a little water, toss in the small spider plant, and it will live!

4. Grow curly spider plant in a tall pot

Now many people have started to like this kind of curly-leaf spider plant. It looks like it has a big wavy perm, very beautiful!

Grow spider plants like this, and they become a waterfall in 3 months!

Many flower lovers always complain to Huahua, why do their spider plants still not send out runners and grow small spider plants after being kept for several months? Actually, it is because your care is not up to standard. Hurry and learn the three techniques below!

1. The soil must be loose, breathable, and nutrient-rich

Spider plants have fleshy roots, so they must be cared for with loose, breathable soil for the roots to be strong, such as: pine needle soil and leaf mold. Also, repot and change the soil at least once a year, and add some chicken manure fertilizer at the bottom of the pot, so the roots can absorb enough nutrients.

2. Spray more water and water less

Spider plants like moisture, so you can spray water around them 2 times a day to raise the humidity. But do not water too frequently. Water about 2-3 times a week after the potting soil dries, because spider plants have fleshy roots that can store water, and too much water easily causes rot.

3. Bury a few soybeans

Spider plants like nitrogen fertilizer, and soybeans are rich in nitrogen, so you can boil soybeans, dig a small hole along the edge of the spider plant pot, stuff in 2-3 beans, then cover with soil, and the spider plant will grow like crazy after eating them.

If it is a golden-centered spider plant or golden-edged spider plant, too much nitrogen fertilizer may make the golden edges disappear, so you can apply some phosphorus and potassium fertilizer at intervals, such as: potassium dihydrogen phosphate.

Grow spider plants like this, and they grow big white roots in 3 days!

If you want to make your home more beautiful, then you should plant more spider plants, but do not spend money to buy them, because if you propagate them as below, 1 pot of spider plant can grow into many, many pots!

1. Use scissors to cut off the small spider plants on the stolons of the spider plant, then place them in a cool, ventilated place to let the wounds dry.

2. Prepare clean, loose soil. You can use leaf mold, pine needle soil, or garden soil + sand, but all of them must be exposed to sunlight for disinfection.

3. Pour the soil into the flower pot, poke several small holes in the soil surface, then insert the small spider plants into the small holes, firm the soil, and water thoroughly once.

4. Place the small spider plants in a place with scattered light and ventilation, and water when you see the soil surface dry, but do not let water accumulate. Within a few days, the small spider plants will survive. After surviving, give them more sunlight and apply a little compound fertilizer, and the spider plants will grow very quickly!
