Tips for caring for pothos in winter: do this and its leaves stay evergreen

When it comes to pothos, many friends are certainly familiar with it. This plant is not only especially easy to care for, but when kept at home it can also absorb some of the harmful gases in the house. Now that autumn has arrived and winter is almost here, many plants grow rather unstably at this time. Winter, like summer, is a special season, and we need to pay more attention to plant care than usual so that the plants can grow healthily and make it through the winter smoothly. So how should pothos be cared for in winter?

First, we need to ensure the right growing environment for the pothos. Although pothos does not like long periods of sunlight, if the environment is too cold, that is also bad for its growth. In that case, we just need to put the pothos somewhere with sunlight, such as on a balcony or a bay window. At night it should be kept away from the window, because cold wind will blow in.

Next is watering the pothos. When we water plants in winter, we need to bring the water close to room temperature first. Tap water that has just been drawn is fairly cold, so we need to let it sit for half a day until it is close to room temperature before watering. It is also best to water at noon, not in the morning or evening. As for watering frequency, in winter it is best to water about every five to eight days, and after watering, do not put the plant somewhere windy, as that easily lowers the water temperature.

Finally, there is fertilizing the pothos. At this time there is actually no need to fertilize the pothos, because pothos grows fairly slowly in winter. We still need to focus on maintaining the temperature, because winter is quite cold and the plant needs to get an appropriate amount of sunlight. This keeps our pothos in a warm environment, which is good for its growth.

These are the three aspects we need to pay attention to when caring for pothos in winter. Of course, some friends will also mention things like pest control and pruning, and so on. It is best to leave these operations until after spring, because first of all, there are relatively few pests in winter.

Second, if the pothos is pruned, its wounds will heal fairly slowly, which is bad for growth. And at this time, too much pruning will make its shape unattractive, and it will be hard for it to grow beautiful leaves for a whole winter, so the editor does not recommend pruning in winter.
