What shaping methods are there for growing pothos?
To better enhance the ornamental effect of pothos, it should be shaped appropriately.
1. Pillar type
Stand a wooden stick or bamboo pole about 1 m high and 5-6 cm in diameter in the center of the flowerpot as a pillar, and wrap the outside of the pillar with palm fiber; plant 3-5 pothos plants of similar size after rooting from cuttings around the pillar so that they form more quickly. As the pothos grows, guide its stems and vines promptly so that the new aerial roots on the nodes attach to the pillar. At the same time, make sure the pothos on the pillar grows full and evenly distributed, forming a green cylindrical shape.
2. Trailing type
Plant 2-3 pothos plants in a pot, and hang them, place them on a flower stand, or set them in a high place indoors. As they grow and develop, the stems and leaves trail down along the rim of the pot; at this time, the branches and vines can be pruned to let them sprout new branches, making the plant shape fuller.

Solutions to the causes of root rot in pothos
1. When root rot is caused by too low a temperature, the most important thing is to raise the temperature of their growing environment, give them more sunlight, or wrap them with protective film to ensure they have enough warmth to recover.
2. In this case of root rot caused by excessive watering, the excess water needs to be dealt with. First trim and tidy the already rotted roots, then disinfect them, then replace the soil with soil that has a more moderate water content, and replant and cultivate them.
3. When the roots of pothos rot due to invasion by pathogens, first replace the potting soil, then prune away the root hairs that have already been invaded, and after that spray them with some fungicide; at this time carbendazim is generally chosen. After these treatments are completed, choose clean potting soil and replant them.
4. When dealing with pothos root rot caused by poor water quality, the first thing to do is replace the water used to irrigate them. Choose a relatively clean water source, then add some carbendazim to it, and after treating their rotted roots, spray them with this water to prevent the breeding of pathogens.
Now that we understand the causes of root rot in pothos and the solutions, let us look at the shaping methods for growing pothos.
How to grow Lühang pothos, Lühang pothos growing methods and precautions
Lühang pothos sells 10 million pots a year, ranking first in national sales. This shows that Lühang pothos is increasingly loved by flower enthusiasts. So how do you grow Lühang pothos? Today let us learn together about Lühang pothos growing methods and precautions:
How to grow Lühang pothos, Lühang pothos growing methods
First, light. Lühang pothos likes shade and is not strongly heliotropic, so it should usually be placed in a dark corner indoors away from direct sunlight; however, if it is the season of continuous overcast and rain in the winter in the north, you can appropriately put Lühang pothos in the sun for a while at noon, so the leaves can fully carry out photosynthesis.
Second, water. Households often cause pothos death because of how much they water, either drowning it with too much water or drying it out with too little. In fact, Lühang pothos needs the soil to remain moist at all times, and when necessary the leaves should be sprayed with water every day. However, be careful not to use too much water; the soil should preferably be moist, and a waterlogged state will affect root respiration. There is also a key issue: if the temperature is too low, reduce the frequency of watering, and especially in winter the water must be left to stand before watering.
Third, temperature. Lühang pothos grows normally in an environment above 20 degrees, and can only survive when the temperature reaches above 10 degrees. When it is cold in winter, absolutely do not place it outdoors, even for a very short time, because low temperatures will freeze and damage the leaf surface.
Finally, fertilizing. In principle, the culture medium that comes with Lühang pothos contains nutrients, so no additional fertilizing is needed. However, in the winter in the north, pothos stops growing, so appropriately spraying some fertilizer can protect pothos through the winter normally and safely.
Precautions for growing Lühang pothos:
It is recommended to buy the fertilizer matched with Lühang pothos for better results.
When sprinkling water on the leaf surface, avoid direct jetting; instead, use a large-area fine mist so that the entire leaf surface is covered.
Lühang pothos can be grown extensively, but do not let the potting soil become too dry, otherwise it will cause yellowing and leaf drop; do not water too much either, as it easily causes root rot. In winter, wipe the leaf surface every few days to keep the leaves glossy. If Lühang pothos is placed for a long time in a place with too strong or too dim light, it will easily cause excessive plant growth, resulting in a sparse and scattered plant shape and fading leaves.
Lühang pothos is a plant with strong vitality. Its stems and vines can reach several meters long, with tangled nodes and varied shapes. It has relatively high ornamental value and can be grown in soil or water, each with its own advantages, and it is being grown by more and more people. The above article introduced in detail how to grow Lühang pothos, Lühang pothos growing methods, and related knowledge on precautions. We hope it can help everyone.
