Pothos Propagation Methods and Care Tips
Pothos is a very attractive green plant, and nowadays almost every household grows pothos. Pothos not only beautifies the indoor environment but also purifies the air. With air pollution becoming more and more serious today, pothos is a rare all-natural air purifier. So how do we propagate pothos? What care tips should we keep in mind? Follow the editor of No.1 Home Network to find out below.
Propagating pothos is actually not difficult. Compared with other flowers and plants, pothos has stronger vitality and does not wither easily. As long as you cut off a pothos stem and soak it in water, the pothos can survive. To help you propagate pothos better, let's take a look below at the care tips for growing pothos.
1. Water more. Pothos likes moisture, so it should be watered more to keep the potting soil moist. In summer, not only should you water more, but you should also frequently spray water on the leaves. However, exactly how much water to give should be determined according to the amount of potting soil, the size of the plant, and other specific factors.
2. Do not expose it to the sun. Pothos grows in forests shaded by towering trees, so its heliotropism is not strong. It cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise new leaves will become smaller, the leaf color will become dull, and the leaf edges will easily be scorched. But it also needs moderate exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis.
3. Keep it at an appropriate temperature. If the temperature is too low, pothos may suffer cold damage. A room temperature of around 20 degrees is recommended, and you should also be careful not to let the leaves get close to heating equipment. As long as the temperature is not lower than 10 degrees, pothos can safely overwinter.
4. Fertilize. Because it is grown indoors, the plant itself has difficulty accessing nutrients. It is recommended to apply fertilizer once every half month. You can buy fertilizer specially made for pothos on the market. Or ask the florist to help choose fertilizer.
5. Maintain air humidity. Pothos grows faster in environments with higher air humidity. It is recommended to maintain indoor humidity, and you can use a humidifier to increase air humidity.
That is all about how to propagate pothos and what care tips to keep in mind. So, have you learned it? The method of growing pothos is very simple. As long as you usually pay a little attention to watering it and occasionally let it get some sun, that is enough.
