Water your pothos less and let it grow "black whiskers" - filling out the pot becomes much easier

Generally, once you have one pot of pothos, you don't need to buy more. Just cut off part of its long stems for cuttings, and you can have several brand-new pots of pothos right away. But if you want your pothos to fill out the pot, you need to pay attention not only to ordinary care. If you can get your pothos to grow "black whiskers," then filling out the pot becomes very easy.

I believe many flower lovers have never even noticed before whether their pothos has "black whiskers." In fact, the black whiskers here refer to the aerial roots of the pothos. In the plant world, many plants and flowers have aerial roots. Once aerial roots are grown, the plant can absorb more nutrients, and naturally the speed of filling out the pot will be faster.

If you want to grow aerial roots on your pothos, you first have to start with your care method. Many times when we care for pothos, we water it a lot, thinking that since pothos is a water-loving plant, more watering will naturally make it grow faster. With frequent watering, the pothos will still grow, but growing aerial roots is not so easy. At this point we need to do the opposite, that is, water the pothos a little less, so the aerial roots will grow out faster.

We can water the pothos about once a week. Especially now that it is autumn, there is no need to worry at all that the pothos will die from lack of water. Remember that before each watering, you must wait until the soil in the pot is completely dry, because aerial roots rely on absorbing moisture from the air to support the pothos's growth. Once the potting soil dries out, the aerial roots will naturally grow out as well.

After the aerial roots have grown, we can slightly increase the amount of watering a little. Remember that while watering the pothos, you also need to spray some water on the aerial roots, so the aerial roots can absorb enough moisture from the air and will naturally grow bigger and bigger. Once the aerial roots have grown large, it means the pothos now has two places to provide it with nutrients. If you keep caring for it this way, won't it fill out the pot very quickly?

In fact, if we get the pothos to grow aerial roots, not only will its growth speed increase quite a bit, but later on, once the stems have matured, taking cuttings will not only be easier but will also root and sprout faster. This is because during cutting, the aerial roots are just like the pothos's root system. Whether placed in soil or in water, they will absorb nutrients and grow quickly, so naturally the survival rate of the cuttings will be much higher.

With this little method, Huahua believes that if you want to get your pothos to fill out the pot, it will be even easier. Hurry home and give it a try!
