Pothos: water it once every half month in summer with this kind of water, and the soil will not compact, the leaves will not turn yellow, and it will sprout new shoots every day

Summer is the time when pothos grows like crazy. Some flower lovers have commented that their pothos just will not grow. Today we will analyze the reasons.

First, whether the soil is compacted

First check whether its soil is compacted. If it is a newly bought pothos and it has not been repotted, then it definitely will not be compacted, because the soil of newly bought pothos is relatively loose coconut coir soil. This kind of soil has very good air permeability. When watered in the greenhouse, the amount of water is relatively large, and it easily drains through, so the roots will not rot.

If it is a pothos we transplanted ourselves, then we need to check whether the soil is loose and breathable. If the soil is compacted and not breathable, the pothos roots cannot spread out, so the pothos definitely will not grow well.

Second, watering must keep up

At this time pothos grows very fast, so watering must not be lacking. When the surface of the pot has dried, water it thoroughly directly. Under good ventilation, frequently spray the leaves with water to increase air humidity, which is very beneficial to the growth of pothos.

Third, fertilizing,

Fertilizing must keep up. If it is a pothos we bought and it has not been repotted, its coconut coir soil has very good water permeability, but it has almost no fertility. If you want it to grow, this can only be achieved through later fertilization. For fertilizing, we can use our own fermented rice water, cake fertilizer water, soybean water, or fruit enzyme, all of which are fine. If we think using these indoors has an odor and we do not want to use these fertilizers, we can use purchased high-nitrogen and high-potassium fertilizer. Use it twice a month, applying thin fertilizer frequently, which is very good for the growth of pothos.

Fourth, ventilation must be good,

Because in summer, many flower lovers like to use air conditioning and grow pothos indoors in an air-conditioned room, which is very unfavorable to the growth of pothos, because ventilation is poor. After watering, the water is not easy to evaporate quickly. If your pothos is soaked in this kind of moist soil for a long time, it is easy to cause root rot and leaf rot. When growing pothos in an air-conditioned room, spray it with carbendazim solution once every half month to prevent root rot and leaf rot, and appropriately reduce the frequency of watering.

Only when these points are met, with loose and breathable soil, watering and fertilizing kept up, and good ventilation, then your pothos in summer, this era of crazy growth, will grow especially fast and sprout new shoots every day.
