II. How to grow pothos

1. Water more. Pothos likes to live in a moist environment, so it is best to water it more. In summer, when the weather is hot and water evaporates quickly, in addition to watering more, you should also spray water on the leaves. The amount of watering depends on the potting soil; larger pothos plants should be watered more.

2. Avoid direct sun exposure. Pothos grows in shaded places under large trees, so it is a shade-loving plant and cannot be exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise newly sprouted leaves will lose water and become smaller, with dull color, and the leaf edges are easily scorched. It is enough to provide sunlight for photosynthesis.

3. Appropriate temperature. Although pothos does not like blazing sun, it is still quite sensitive to temperature. If the temperature is too low, it is easily frostbitten. A room temperature of around 20 degrees is enough. If heating equipment is turned on, the pothos leaves must not be too close to it. If the indoor temperature is kept above 10 degrees, pothos can safely get through the winter.

4. Fertilizing. Because it is grown indoors, pothos does not absorb nutrients as abundantly as it would outdoors. It is recommended to apply fertilizer once every half month. You can buy fertilizer specially made for pothos on the market. Or ask the flower shop owner 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 a humidifier can be used to increase air humidity. Specifically, you can spray water around the pothos.

The above gives you an understanding of the uses of pothos flowers, and their medicinal value is eye-opening. This plant, pothos, is a treasure in every way, so growing it well becomes very important, and attention must be paid to growing methods.
