Keeping a few pots of greenery at home seems to have become a habit for every modern person now; it really adds a touch of green to the home, and it's not only pleasing to the eye but also does a lot of good for your health. When it comes to what every household keeps the most of in daily life, it has to be pothos!

The pothos plant can be said to be a "can't-kill" plant; as long as you water it regularly, the growth rate of its vines simply can't be stopped. Huahua knows a gardening friend who is super good at growing pothos; she almost never has to think about buying pothos again after buying one pot. When asked about her method, it turned out she feeds her pothos this kind of "water"!

Actually, this water is soybean water fermented from the common soybeans in our home kitchens. Soybean water contains a large amount of protein, and after a long period of fermentation it can produce the compound fertilizer containing nitrogen that plants need. Give your pothos some of this every half a month, and the leaves and vines will naturally grow like crazy. In fact, the method for making this soybean water is extremely simple, and I believe even beginner gardeners will get it at a glance!

How to make soybean water:

In the first step, wash the soybeans and soak them in water; when you see the skins wrinkle, you can take them out. In the second step, put the soaked soybeans into a pot and boil them until soft; about 30 minutes of boiling is enough, then scoop out the cooked soybeans and let them cool. The last step is to put the soybeans into an airtight container, add water, and place it in a cool place to wait for fermentation. If you can't stand the smell during fermentation, you can add a little orange peel to the container beforehand to remove the odor.

After about half a month, the soybean water will be fully fermented. When using the fermented soybean water, you still need to dilute it with water. Pothos watered with soybean water will grow more vigorously. However, don't get careless with the other care steps just because you have soybean water; that can also cause yellow leaves and root rot in pothos!

Light: Pothos is not a light-loving plant, but it also won't grow well if kept in a dark place. At this time, soft, scattered light is needed for care. In summer, be sure to shade pothos, which can prevent sunlight from scorching the leaves. In winter, you can appropriately increase the light intensity a little to help pothos grow.

Watering: Watering pothos is not a difficult task. In spring, summer and autumn, we need to keep the potting soil moist. In spring and autumn, water about once every 3 days, while in summer, when necessary, it needs to be watered twice a day. In winter, because evaporation is slow, you can appropriately reduce the amount of watering to prevent root rot!

If you want pothos to grow even better, you can also regularly apply a little diluted fertilizer water. This plant is very easy to care for, so gardening lovers who like it should hurry and get a few pots! Placed at home with lush green leaves, it looks great for a long time!
