Pothos growing so wildly it bursts the pot - the neighbor's secret was actually this thing from a pillow

Pothos is probably the green plant that every household is growing now, because it not only purifies the air but also survives as soon as it touches water, making it very easy to care for. A few days ago, Huahua went to a neighbor's house as a guest and found that almost every pot of pothos the neighbor grows was lush and green, with vines sprouting out everywhere. The scene was truly beautiful!

Huahua asked around and found that the neighbor's secret for growing pothos was actually buckwheat hulls from inside a pillow. This is really uncommon, and you could say it is another new flower-growing trick. But why can buckwheat hulls have such an effect when used to grow flowers? After learning about it, Huahua suddenly understood!

Buckwheat hull pillows feel relatively hard, and sleeping on them is better for the body's development, especially suitable for children. Buckwheat hulls contain a large amount of fiber and minerals, and in the field of traditional Chinese medicine they also have the effects of clearing heat and relieving pain. These nutrients are likewise very useful for flowers and plants.

Buckwheat hulls are suitable for use as fertilizer, because their components can help plants grow. Their effect can completely replace compound fertilizer containing nitrogen and potassium elements. If you use buckwheat hulls more often to grow flowers, the plant roots will become thicker and stronger, and the leaves will naturally become greener and more glossy. Mixing a little buckwheat hull into the soil can also prevent soil compaction. It seems buckwheat hulls really are a treasured little item.

But actually, the most common way to use buckwheat hulls for growing flowers is to dig a few small holes in the soil in the flowerpot, then pour the buckwheat hulls in, letting the buckwheat hulls slowly ferment in the soil on their own and then release nutrients to help the flowers and plants grow. This is also the little trick behind why the neighbor's pothos can grow so luxuriantly. Seeing it once really is better than hearing about it a hundred times!

Actually, the daily care of pothos is relatively easy. Huahua will chatter a bit more here. Pothos generally uses clay pots or plastic ones, because their breathability is usually relatively good. When growing pothos at home, both water culture and soil culture methods can be used. Cut off a small branch for cuttings. Almost all of them can survive.

Because pothos grows relatively fast and has a relatively large number of leaves, its water demand is also somewhat greater. Generally, in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, pothos should maintain a watering frequency of about once every two days. In winter, the speed of water evaporation slows down, so the amount of watering should also decrease. Pothos is suitable for indoor care. It cannot accept direct sunlight, so scattered light is the best choice. If it is "sunbathed" excessively, the leaves of the pothos will turn yellow and the vines will gradually stop growing.

Actually, behind the seemingly easy-to-grow pothos, you still have to find the right method. At this point you can see the importance of paying attention to life. In life there are many small aspects that we do not notice, and maybe they will bring us no small surprise.
