Don't Panic If Your Pothos Has Yellow Leaves: Bury 2 or 3 Soybeans in the Soil and It Will Revive in a Few Days

But recently, a gardening friend told Huahua that their pothos had started showing yellow leaves for some unknown reason. Looking at the neighbors' plants on WeChat Moments, all lush and green, while their own pothos looked wilted with yellowing leaves, it felt uncomfortable no matter how you looked at it, a little, just a little upsetting.

No worries. Today Huahua is here to solve everyone's problem and tell you what to do about yellow leaves on pothos. Generally speaking, yellow leaves on pothos are caused by problems with your usual care habits. Besides internal factors, external environmental factors are also factors that cannot be ignored.

Factors like light, watering, and temperature affect the growth of pothos and can also be one of the reasons its leaves turn yellow. Normally, you should have a good grasp of pothos's growth habits. For example, although pothos likes shade tolerance, you still can't go long periods without giving it sunlight, and the ambient temperature should ideally be around 25 degrees Celsius, and so on.

There is another factor that people often overlook: fertilizing. Many friends keep pothos at home but don't fertilize it regularly. Actually, that's fine, as long as the soil is fertile and nutritious, it's enough. But if the soil at home is just ordinary garden soil and you don't usually apply some organic fertilizer to your pothos, then yellow leaves are a very common problem.

Especially in this season, when pothos is in its growing period and is precisely in need of nutrients, if your pothos has yellow leaves, think back carefully: how long has it been since you fertilized it? Fertilizing pothos isn't difficult either. You don't need to specially buy fertilizer; just toss a little of this into it!

That's right: soybeans. People who often grow flowers probably have some understanding of soybeans. Soybeans are rich in nitrogen fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer can provide plants with the nutrients they need for growth, replenishing the nutrition of the whole pothos through the roots. Plus, every household has soybeans. Boil the soybeans and bury them in the soil, and within a few days the pothos will come back to life.

Some people choose to use compound fertilizers like nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium. Compound fertilizers are also fine, but they have a small drawback: frequently applying compound fertilizer to plants can cause the soil to become compacted. So it's best to alternate between compound fertilizer and organic fertilizer, and pay attention to loosening the soil regularly to reduce soil compaction.

Just two or three soybeans can save your yellow-leaved pothos from dire straits. It's really very practical! Give it a try!
