What are the care precautions for pothos in winter?

1. Water pothos correctly

Many pothos plants are killed by watering in winter. If your home has heating or underfloor heating, water as usual in winter and keep the potting soil moist. If your home has no heating, then watering should be reduced appropriately, and you should not water until the soil is dry.

2. Pothos can get some sun in winter

Although pothos cannot be put out in the sun, winter is an exception. Winter sunlight is weak, so at this time you should place pothos by a south-facing window or on a balcony, in a spot with good sunlight, and it will grow better.

3. Control the temperature suitable for pothos growth

At temperatures above 10°C, pothos can overwinter safely, and at temperatures of 20°C or above, pothos can grow normally.

4. Pothos does not need fertilizing in winter

In winter, pothos basically stops growing, so it does not need much fertilizer, and pothos can go without fertilizing in winter.

Can a dead pothos still be revived?

1. Leaves gone but the main stem still there (can survive)

If all the leaves of the pothos have fallen off, or only a few scattered leaves remain, while the main stem still looks alive, then there is still hope. You can move the pothos to a warmer place and wait for it to revive.

2. Leaves and main stem both rotted (cannot survive)

In this case, it can generally be judged that it cannot be revived. This is because it usually means the roots have already rotted, so it is best not to think about rescue measures anymore.

Pothos is a very easy plant to grow and has a strong ability to adapt to its environment, but winter is the hardest season for pothos, so the pothos at home must be well cared for normally, and in winter you can also give pothos more sun, which can speed up its growth.

Care methods and precautions for large-leaf pothos

  When pothos is mentioned, flower growers are surely familiar with it. Pothos is a common green plant in homes and offices. It has vigorous vitality and well-developed leaves, and can also absorb harmful substances such as benzene and formaldehyde, so it is very popular. The pothos we usually see generally has ordinary-sized leaves and nothing special about it, but have you ever seen pothos with very large leaves that is very tall and sturdy? This kind of pothos is actually called large-leaf pothos, a variety of pothos. Its leaves themselves are much larger than those of ordinary pothos, but if you want to grow large-leaf pothos well, you still have to care for it properly.

  You should choose a loose, slightly acidic to neutral sandy loam rich in organic matter. You can mix leaf mold, red soil, rapeseed cake and bone meal in a ratio of 7:2:1:1. The suitable temperature for large-leaf pothos growth is above 20°C. In winter, it should be kept above 10°C for it to overwinter safely.

  Light 

  Large-leaf pothos does not have very high light requirements. But if it is placed in a dark place for a long time, the leaves will shrink and the internodes will lengthen. In summer, it should be placed in a semi-shaded environment, and in winter, light should be appropriately increased to strengthen photosynthesis.

  Water 

  Large-leaf pothos likes a relatively humid environment. More water should be sprayed around it and at the rooting area. However, do not water too much, to avoid waterlogging and root rot. Just keep the soil moist.

  Fertilizer

  Apply Yehong Shiguang flower microbial inoculant once a month, which can significantly increase leaf thickness and brightness, make the plant grow more healthily, improve the plant's resistance to pests and diseases, and promote plant growth. After the beginning of winter, mainly apply foliar fertilizer.

  Precautions 

  Because it grows relatively fast, it should be pruned in good time to keep the plant shape graceful;

  In summer, when the weather is dry and hot, more water should be sprayed, and attention should be paid to ventilation;

  Large-leaf pothos is easily infected by pests such as scale insects and red spider mites. Pay more attention normally; when there are few, remove and burn them directly, and when there are many, apply insecticide in time.

Pothos care methods and precautions for the four seasons

  Pothos has large, thick leaves and an extremely strong ability to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. It can absorb formaldehyde and ammonia from the air, with an obvious air-purifying effect, and can be placed in different places in the home according to need. At the same time, pothos is also a common green plant in offices, and because of its strong vitality it is loved by many flower growers. So how should pothos be cared for throughout the four seasons of the year?

  Key spring care points 

  Propagation: During the growing season, cut 20-30 cm stem vines, remove the basal leaves, insert them into a bottle filled with water, change the water once every 3~5 days, and roots can form in 25-30 days. For beginners, the easiest method is to insert the cut stem vines into water, and after roots grow, transplant them into a pot.

  Temperature/light: Care for it in a bright indoor spot, and do not place it in a too dry and shaded environment for a long time, otherwise the yellow patches of variegated varieties will be less obvious, reducing ornamental value.

  Watering: Keep the soil moist, and frequently spray and sprinkle water on the leaves to increase air humidity.

  Fertilizing: During the seedling growth period, apply 1 time of fully decomposed 5-times liquid fertilizer every 10~15 days. After the plant takes shape, apply 1 time of fully decomposed 10-times liquid fertilizer every 30 days.

  Key summer care points 

  Watering: Water in time when the weather is hot to keep the potting soil moist, and at the same time spray the leaves frequently.

  Temperature/light: Care for it in a bright indoor spot, and pay attention to shading in midsummer.

  Fertilizing: Do not fertilize when the temperature is relatively high.

  Key autumn care points

  Fertilizing : After the weather turns cool, fertilize normally. Stop fertilizing after the temperature drops in late autumn.

  Temperature/light: As the temperature drops, gradually move it to a bright windowside for cultivation.

  Watering: After the temperature drops in late autumn, gradually reduce the frequency of watering, keeping the potting soil slightly moist.

  Key winter care points 

  Temperature/light: It can overwinter safely at around 10C, and should be cared for in a spot with sufficient light.

  Watering: Water alternately between dry and wet periods, and at noon when the temperature is relatively high, you can use slightly warm clean water to spray the leaves and around them several times.

  Fertilizing: Do not fertilize.

  The above are the pothos care methods and precautions for the four seasons compiled for you by the Hui Nong Wang editor. Whether placed in an office or at home, pothos is a plant with high ornamental value. The editor has also grown it before, but unfortunately, due to care, it did not make it through winter. Therefore, I hope this article can help you let the happy green and blessed green of pothos accompany you through all four seasons.
