4 little tricks for pothos care: no yellow leaves and it can even grow into a green waterfall

These days, one phrase we often hear is "the city is full of tricks," and many pothos lovers in the city have started using "tricks" on their own pothos at home too. With a few little tricks, they keep their potted pothos at home growing very well, with strong roots, thick stems, a surge of new branches, and vines climbing several meters up the wall. They say that once you figure out the tricks of how pothos grows and go along with them, it can grow well. Let's learn them too.

1. Trick one: flirt a little with the sun

Pothos and the sun can be called enemies. To be honest, pothos does not really like sunlight; it prefers staying indoors. But if it never sees sunlight at all, that still will not do, which is why they are called enemies. So what should you do? Very simple: during normal care, place it in a bright spot with scattered light. If you want to let it sunbathe, 2 hours of soft light each day is enough, letting them flirt a little so they can carry out normal photosynthesis.

2. Trick two: pamper it with good food

If you want to get something done, you always have to treat someone to good food and drink. After staying at home for a long time, pothos has actually learned the essence of this. If you want it to grow lush and send out many branches, then when it needs fertilizer, you have to add fertilizer. Although it is not picky, we had better not use fertilizer carelessly. Use an organic nutrient solution fermented from plants, with balanced nutrient elements, to strengthen the roots and let it absorb better, and it can also help prevent yellow leaves. Give it fertilizer once every 1-2 weeks, and only then is a bursting pot guaranteed.

3. Trick three: feed it but do not give it a drink

The earlier topdressing can be considered filling the pothos up, but what if it gets thirsty? Of course you need to water it well, but pothos has one characteristic: if you keep watering it, it can rot its roots for you in no time. You cannot water too much. Water again only after the potting soil is dry. This must be strictly controlled; you cannot joke with the life of the pothos. Beginner pothos lovers can use a flower and plant meter to measure humidity before watering. Of course, you can also use a disposable chopstick to check. Everyone basically knows the method.

4. Trick four: pull out the yellow hair

Once people have white hair, they always like to have it pulled out for them. My parents are like this. Pothos is like this too. When caring for pothos, once yellow leaves appear, prune them in time. If the leaves at the bottom turn yellow, then there is no need to panic. If leaves elsewhere turn yellow, not only should you deal with them in time, but you also have to check whether something has gone wrong with recent care, whether it is pests or disease. But that is all for later.

With four "little tricks," you can make pothos grow like crazy. Although they are all small details in daily life, this is also one of the wisdoms of growing flowers. Pothos lovers, everyone hurry and write these points down, then go use these tricks on your potted pothos at home.
