How to grow pothos? Easily master the growing methods and tips

Nowadays more and more families choose pothos for home decoration, because it is very suitable for decorating with, and how to grow it wisely is a big challenge. You should choose according to personal preference, house structure, economic strength, preferred style and decoration color scheme. Let's take a detailed look below with the editor.

How exactly should it be grown? Let's talk about it in detail below:

1. Change the water frequently. If growing pothos in water, be sure to change the water frequently; remember to change it once every two to three days, because pothos has very high requirements for water quality. After the pothos grows new roots, remember to add nutrient solution to it, as only then can the pothos leaves be more glossy.

2. Choice of water quality. The water used for growing pothos is also very important. You can choose clean tap water or purified water to grow pothos. The correct choice of water quality is very important for growing pothos in water, so the choice of water quality is also very important.

3. Suitable temperature. In the north, pothos can safely overwinter when the room temperature is above 10°C, and can grow normally when the room temperature is above 20°C. Generally, reaching this temperature at home is not a big problem. What needs attention is avoiding too large a temperature difference, and also making sure the leaves do not get close to heating equipment.

4. Root trimming work. For the roots of pothos, we need to clean them at intervals. After the root system grows long, the roots need to be trimmed. If there are rotten roots, cut them off, so that the pothos can absorb nutrients better.

5. Spray water on the pothos regularly. Pothos likes a warm and humid environment, so pay attention: spray water on the pothos leaves regularly to increase humidity. This is very beneficial to the growth of pothos, and it can also clean the leaves.

6. Appropriate amount of light. Every morning you can place the pothos on a balcony or in a bright spot to supplement light for photosynthesis. Only sufficient scattered light can make the leaves spread out and the leaf color emerald green.

Pothos likes warm, humid environments and is a shade-loving plant, and is one of the very excellent indoor decorative plants. Pothos has very strong vitality and can be grown both in water and in pots. Water-grown pothos grows relatively fast and its cultivation and management are simple. During cultivation and management, in summer you should spray water on the plant more often, add nutrient solution once every 10 days, keep the leaves green, and change the water once every 2 to 3 days.

For potted pothos, in principle during the growing season watering should keep the potting soil moist often. In summer, while watering fully, also pay attention to frequently spraying water on the leaf surface. Remember, pothos must not be watered with rice-washing water. Although rice-washing water contains quite a few nutrients that can be used, it must be composted, fermented and rotted before use; otherwise it will not only easily breed insects, but in serious cases can also cause root rot.

In summer, the temperature is higher, pothos grows vigorously and holds a larger amount of water, so it needs watering about once every 2 days; in autumn and winter, the amount of watering should be controlled according to the indoor temperature. When the room temperature is below 10 degrees, the plant's soil evaporates relatively slowly, so watering should be reduced, and watering once every 4~5 days is enough. After heating starts, watering should not be too frequent either; water once every 3~4 days. When watering, be careful not to pour the water directly into the pot; instead, first slowly pour in the water, wait for it to seep down, then spray evenly, and wait for the water to penetrate. In addition, water should also be sprayed at the places where aerial roots grow on the moss pole, to reduce insufficient root water uptake caused by too-rapid evaporation.

When watering, be sure to water thoroughly at one time and maintain soil moisture. In the north, pothos can safely overwinter when the room temperature is above 10°C, and can grow normally when the room temperature is above 20°C. When watering in winter, the water needs to be left indoors for a day first, and watered only after it is basically the same as room temperature, so as to avoid the water being too cold and damaging the pothos roots.

Pothos needs watering, but when watering, dear readers, you should also pay attention to the amount of water; do not water too much. The above is the introduction to pothos growing that the editor has provided for everyone, and I hope it can be helpful to you.
