4 common problems with potted pothos, beginners won't kill them after reading this

Pothos can be considered one of the most common potted plants; almost every household keeps or has kept pothos. Although pothos is very easy to grow, many flower lovers still accidentally kill it. The main issue is that they don't handle watering and repotting properly. So here are some simple basics about watering and repotting potted pothos; let's take a look below:

1. When should pothos be repotted

As long as the temperature is suitable, pothos grows all year round, so unlike repotting flowers such as Chinese roses, there is no need to consider timing. However, it is best not to repot at noon in summer; you can choose to repot in the evening, so that after repotting and watering thoroughly, the plant recovers from transplant shock overnight and bounces back quickly.

2. What soil should be used for repotting pothos

Because pothos grows fast, its demand for nutrients is also high. If conditions allow, flower lovers are advised to choose fertile potting soil or peat soil. Of course, pothos is an undemanding plant, so your own soil mix is also fine as long as it drains well.

3. When should pothos be propagated by cuttings

Many flower lovers like to casually cut off a section of pothos and propagate it by cuttings. Pothos cuttings can be taken all year round, but in northern China the climate is cold; with heating it doesn't matter. If you are in the south without heating and winter temperatures are not high, then it is best not to take cuttings; you can wait until the weather warms up.

4. In what season should pothos be repotted

This question is basically the same as the earlier one about when to repot pothos, so I won't go on about it here. As long as the temperature in the growing environment is not low, it can be done all year round.
