Pothos is a very common foliage plant, evergreen all year round, with very high ornamental value, and it also has strong air-purifying ability, able to absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene.

Although pothos is easy to keep alive, it just grows relatively slowly. Some flower lovers have grown it for more than half a year without seeing any growth. Today Hua'er will introduce to everyone: feed pothos this thing and it transforms into "Spider-Man", aerial roots sprout nonstop, and it grows like crazy to over 2 m!

This thing is soybean water. Soybeans are rich in nutrients and ferment and break down into a large amount of nitrogen and other trace elements, which can promote pothos to sprout aerial roots and grow quickly, making pothos lush and leafy.

Specific method: take an appropriate amount of soybeans, first soak them in clean water overnight, then put them in a pressure cooker and simmer for 1-2 hours to let them become completely soft and mushy. After cooling, put both the beans and the liquid into a large plastic bottle. If there is relatively little liquid, you can add an appropriate amount of clean water, then add a little orange peel and insecticide, which can speed up fermentation and remove the odor. After sealing, put it under the sun to bake.

During fermentation, soybeans will produce gas, so every 3-5 days you need to let it vent to prevent the bottle from bursting. Fermentation takes about half a month.

When using, take the supernatant liquid, then dilute it 20 times and pour it into the potting soil. When pouring, pour it slowly in from the edge of the flower pot, and stop when you get near the middle. Do this once every 7 days. You can also pour it into a fine-nozzle watering can and spray it onto the branches and leaves for foliar topdressing, which can also make pothos grow like crazy and sprout more aerial roots.

Besides having sufficient nutrients, properly controlling water during the growing season can also make it sprout aerial roots. Watering should wait until the potting soil is dry and the branches and leaves show slight signs of softening before proceeding. After doing this for half a month, resume watering, and many aerial roots will sprout on the stems of the pothos.

When controlling water for pothos, note that you must not fertilize, otherwise it can easily cause root burn and affect the plant's sprouting and growth.

That is all for pothos care. If flower lovers have other additions, you can share them with everyone in the comment section below. If you want to learn more about flower-growing knowledge, if you want to learn more about flower-growing knowledge, you can follow Huajianke!
