Pothos growing slowly? Move it to a new spot and it will grow 2 meters in less than 3 months, covering the whole living room

Pothos is a very popular houseplant and also has excellent functional benefits: it can absorb harmful gases and dust, purify the air in our living environment, and greatly benefit our health. And pothos is very easy to grow; it is not as fussy as other flowers. Give it a little water and it will grow beautifully!

However, many people run into a problem when growing pothos: at first the pothos grows at a pretty good rate, but once it reaches a certain point, its growth seems to stall. This happens even more often when people grow pothos in the living room. Why exactly is that?

The reason is actually very simple. It is not a fertilizer problem, nor a light problem, but a placement problem! When the pothos at home refuses to grow, we move it to a different spot, and with proper care, in less than 3 months it can grow more than 2 meters and cover the whole living room! In our living rooms, there are several spots that are unsuitable for growing pothos. If this is happening to you, hurry up and move your pothos somewhere else!

Air conditioner vents

Whether it is winter or summer, the air conditioner is an indispensable household appliance for everyone, but if pothos is grown at the air outlet of an air conditioner, it very easily develops yellow leaves and dries out; if it is not that severe, then it shows up as stalled growth. This is because the air outlet is very dry and unsuitable for growing flowers. If we notice this problem, we should quickly move it to another place.

Next to large light fixtures

Many people like to grow pothos next to large light fixtures, as this creates a pleasing contrast and gives higher ornamental value, but doing so is not good for the pothos' growth, because although large light fixtures do not give off much heat from a distance, if the plant is very close, certain parts of the fixture can produce concentrated high temperatures that easily scorch the pothos, which greatly affects its growth. It is recommended to move it somewhere else.

Corners that are never ventilated all year round

In our living rooms, there are always a few corners that, due to the structure of the house, are rarely ventilated all year round. Such places are very unsuitable for pothos growth, and not just for pothos: for all other plants, the first requirement for survival is ventilation. Poor ventilation easily stifles plants, so failure to grow is a very normal situation.

Therefore, growing pothos in these 3 places very easily leads to stalled growth. If you find that your pothos is also like this, then quickly move it to another place, and you will soon find that its growth recovers. Of course, if you want the pothos to grow even better and achieve the effect of growing 2 meters in 3 months, then we also need to pay attention to the following issues.

Light:

Pothos is a shade-loving plant, but that does not mean it does not need sunlight. If nutrients are sufficient and the air humidity is adequate, receiving some sunlight can make it grow quickly. For example, on a windowsill that gets sunlight, or next to a window that gets several hours of light a day, these places are all very good for pothos growth.

Fertilizer:

Growth is certainly inseparable from nutrients. If you want pothos to grow well, fertilizer is indispensable. We can add some organic fertilizer to the pothos soil, such as: fermented soybeans, poultry manure, and so on.

Humidity:

Pothos is a plant that very much loves a humid environment. A humid environment does not only refer to the moisture level of the soil. While keeping the soil moist, we also need to humidify its leaves, stems, and the surrounding air. Especially in an air-conditioned room, where the air humidity is very low, I can place a humidifier next to the pothos to ensure the surrounding air is moist, which is very beneficial to its growth.

These are some small tips about pothos care. If you trust them, you can give them a try at home, and you will find that your pothos changes a great deal.
