Feed pothos a piece of red peel and it grows vigorously, suddenly reaching palm size
When growing pothos, this little gardener believes that pothos lovers have heard many strange growing methods, tossing all kinds of things to it to eat, and it really does grow quite well, sprouting like crazy. Today, what this little gardener wants to talk about is something a pothos lover did. She fed her pothos at home "red peel," and unexpectedly the pothos grew greener and greener, and kept sprouting new shoots, growing really vigorously.
1. Feeding pothos with "red peel"
She said that when she first started growing pothos, it either had yellow leaves or dropped leaves, and it always grew poorly. Later she went to Tieba to look at flower growers' tricks and learned that fruit peels can be used to make compost. It just so happened that there were a few ripe dragon fruits at home, and after eating them, she wanted to try using this "red peel" to supplement fertilizer for the pothos and see the effect. Let us take a look together.
2. "Green fertilizer" is more convenient
Actually, when caring for pothos, the main purpose of using fruit peels to make compost is still to supplement nitrogen fertilizer and potassium fertilizer, strengthen the roots, and promote branching. If you do not have time to make compost yourself, or there are elderly people and children at home and the compost smells too bad, then you might as well use Huadongde pothos-specific organic nutrient solution. It can strengthen the roots and promote pothos branching while also preventing yellow leaves. Plant-fermented organic fertilizer is also good for your family's health.
3. "Red fertilizer" has a formula
The pothos lover said that dragon fruit peel cannot be buried directly, otherwise it will breed worms, stink, and attract ants. If you want to use it, cut it into small pieces, first put it into a discarded plastic bottle, add a little water to it, and take it out to bake in the sun. Vent it once a week, and when the peel turns black, floats up, and breaks apart with a stir, it is ready to use. Remember to dilute it more than 20 times before use.
4. The "care basics" cannot be abandoned
If pothos owners see yellow leaves while caring for pothos, and if the leaves at the bottom have turned yellow, this is the result of normal metabolism, so just remove them in time. If leaves elsewhere have turned yellow, then comprehensively consider these issues: light, watering, fertilizing, and ventilation. This little gardener suggests that beginner pothos lovers prepare 1 flower and plant detector, so it will be more convenient to grasp the dry and wet conditions of the potting soil.
Caring for pothos is actually really not difficult. Even for beginners, as long as you pay a little attention to some details, you can grow pothos very well. This little gardener's advice is that when caring for it, we can try more new "clever tricks," but we should not push the basic care aside. Only by doing both can we grow pothos well.
