What Kind of Plant Is Pothos? Suitable for Growing in the Office and at Home

Nowadays many people grow pothos at home or in the office. Although pothos looks beautiful and can improve the environment, many people actually do not understand it and do not know what kind of plant pothos is. Below, the editor introduces some knowledge about pothos.

A large evergreen climbing plant. It grows in tropical regions, often climbing on rocks and tree trunks in rainforests, and can grow into a huge climbing plant. It has strong twining ability and well-developed aerial roots. Pothos belongs to the Araceae family and can be grown hydroponically.
The stems and vines of pothos are thick and strong, reaching several meters in length, with aerial roots at the nodes. The young leaves are ovate-heart-shaped; the leaves of newly propagated seedlings are smaller and lighter in color. As the plant ages, the mature leaves become long ovate, about 30cm long and about 10cm wide. The deep green leaf surface is inlaid with irregular yellow-white spots or stripes.
Due to differences in fertilizer and water conditions, the size of its leaves varies. Pothos has luxuriant branches and leaves, good shade tolerance, and is evergreen all year round with a glossy sheen. In winter, outdoor plants wither and fade, while indoor pothos remains lush and green, making it an excellent indoor foliage plant.
Because the stems and vines of pothos grow quickly, people often cultivate it as a column-climbing form, that is, erecting a support post in the center of the flowerpot, wrapping some palm fiber around the post, with the post diameter reaching 22-12cm, and then planting 3-4 young seedlings in the pot so that their stems and vines climb around the post. Some also plant pothos in a flowerpot, place it on a flower stand, and let its stems and vines hang down like a green curtain, which is quite charming. It also has a certain effect of absorbing formaldehyde and benzene. It is suitable for planting at home and in the office.
