Planting Methods and Technical Key Points for Lühang Pothos

Lühang pothos is a plant that removes smog, and more and more people are growing green plants at home. Especially plants like Lühang pothos that can purify the air are found in almost every household.

How to grow Lühang pothos, cultivation methods for Lühang pothos

First, light. Lühang pothos prefers shade and is not strongly heliotropic, so it should usually be placed in a dark corner indoors away from direct sunlight; however, if it is a winter in the north with continuous cloudy and rainy weather, you can properly put Lühang pothos in the sun for a while at noon, so that the leaves can fully carry out photosynthesis.

Second, water. Households often cause pothos to die because of how much they water, either drowning it with too much water or drying it out with too little. In fact, Lühang pothos needs the soil to be kept moist at all times, and when necessary the leaves should be sprayed with water every day. However, be careful not to use too much water; the soil should preferably be moist, and a waterlogged state will affect the roots' respiration. There is also a key issue: if the temperature is too low, reduce the frequency of watering, and especially in winter the water must be left to stand before watering.

Third, temperature. Lühang pothos is suitable for normal growth in an environment above 20 degrees, and can only survive when the temperature reaches above 10 degrees. When it is cold in winter, do not place it outdoors, even for a very short time, because low temperatures will freeze and damage the leaf surface.

Finally, fertilizing. In principle, the culture medium that comes with Lühang pothos contains nutrients, so there is no need to apply fertilizer again. However, in the winter in the north, pothos will stop growing, so appropriately spraying some fertilizer can protect pothos and help it safely survive the winter.

Precautions for growing Lühang pothos:

It is recommended to buy the fertilizer matched with Lühang pothos for better results.

When sprinkling water on the leaf surface, avoid direct jetting; instead, use a large-area fine mist, preferably covering the entire leaf surface.

Lühang pothos can be grown extensively, but never let the potting soil become too dry, otherwise it will cause yellowing and leaf drop; watering also must not be too much, as it easily causes root rot. In winter, wipe the leaf surface every few days to keep it glossy. If Lühang pothos is placed for a long time in a place with too strong or too dim light, it is prone to excessive growth, resulting in a sparse and scattered plant shape and fading leaf color.

Lühang pothos is a plant with very strong vitality, its stems and vines can reach several meters long, with tangled nodes and varied shapes. It has high ornamental value on the China Agricultural Chemical Investment Promotion Network, and can be grown in soil or in water, each with its own merits, and it is being grown by more and more people.
