How do you care for a pothos so it grows well? This care routine is enough

These days there is really a lot of common knowledge about pothos, and pothos is also quite widespread. Everyone knows pothos is easy to grow, but how to grow pothos so it grows fast and lush is something many plant lovers are not really clear about, and pothos kept for a long time also easily becomes dense and overgrown as shown in the picture below..

Pothos is a shade-loving plant that likes a hot and humid environment, avoids direct sunlight, and prefers shade. It likes soil rich in humus, loose and fertile, and slightly acidic. The overwintering temperature should not be lower than 15°C. Pothos is a shade-loving plant that likes scattered light and is fairly shade-tolerant. It comes alive upon contact with water, and because of its tenacious vitality it is called the "flower of life." Its trailing green stems and leaves are very easy to please. When grown indoors, whether in a pot or as a few stems cut for water culture, it can grow beautifully. You can let it climb on a cylinder tied from palm fiber, or train it into a hanging form and place it in a study or on a windowsill, or simply grow it in a pot and set it out. It is a very suitable elegant flower for indoor growing.

The pothos we newly buy is especially nice, but after a while it wilts. What is going on? One is an environmental problem, and the other is a problem with the soil's fertilizer effectiveness.

Let's talk about the environmental problem first. Originally, pothos is grown in high-humidity environments like greenhouses. In this kind of environment, not to mention pothos, almost most plants can grow lushly..

Now let's talk about the soil fertilizer effectiveness problem. The pothos we just bought has several pothos plants growing in one pot, and pothos itself grows relatively fast and has a relatively high demand for fertilizer, so if the fertilizer cannot keep up, the pothos will also grow poorly.

Alright, let's talk about how to grow pothos so it grows fast and lush.

1. Usually do not water excessively; just keep the potting soil moist but not wet. However, you should spray water on the pothos leaves more often, as this helps the pothos leaves absorb water. There is another watering method: the half-soil half-water method, using a watertight pot, filling it with enough water so the water covers the soil. This also works, and pothos grows very fast this way too.

2. We should develop the habit of fertilizing. For pothos, nitrogen fertilizer is the main type. We usually follow the principle of applying thin fertilizer frequently. If it is organic fertilizer, even better.

3. Often place the pothos in a spot with slightly better light for a few days, letting the pothos get some light and ventilation. This also helps the pothos grow.

4. We know pothos vines have aerial roots. In a natural environment, wherever the vine climbs, the roots take hold. Precisely because of this, pothos roots easily wither and age, so we should develop the habit of taking cuttings. This way the old and new can replace each other and make the potted pothos look lush.
