Pothos is the most suitable flower for the office

Pothos is a fairly common green plant, and many people like growing it, especially in the office. Pothos has strong twining ability, well-developed aerial roots, and long trailing branches that sway gracefully, instantly making a room feel full of life. Because of this space-beautifying quality, pothos can be trained to climb a cylindrical support - it is commonly placed in entrance halls and hotels - or it can be grown in a trailing form and placed in a study or on a windowsill.

Pothos has the good name of "green purifier". This is also why people like to place pothos indoors: pothos has a strong ability to purify the air. Pothos can absorb formaldehyde during its metabolism, and it can also break down the benzene emitted by copiers and printers, and can also absorb trichloroethylene. A newly renovated home can have several pots of pothos placed in it, which can effectively purify the air.

Notes on pothos care

There are many varieties of pothos, including large-leaf pothos and small-leaf pothos, and pothos is very suitable for hydroponics - clean, tidy and pleasing to the eye.

When caring for pothos, generally do not keep it in too cold and shady an environment, but also do not let direct sunlight hit the pothos.

Pothos can generally be grown in clay pots, or plastic pots, porcelain pots and ceramic pots are all fine.

For pot size, generally choose a pot with a diameter of 14-34 cm.

The soil used for growing pothos can be a nutrient soil made by mixing four ingredients: 3 parts leaf mold, 3 parts garden soil, 3 parts river sand and 1 part manure.

Pothos seedlings can be repotted once a year, while mature pothos plants are generally repotted once every 1-2 years.

Pothos grows fairly fast, and generally needs topdressing during its peak growing season.

Pothos cannot be exposed to direct strong light; it is generally better to care for it in a semi-shady environment or under scattered light.
