Pothos (scientific name: Epipremnum aureum) is a plant of the genus Araceae, native to the tropical rainforests of Indonesia, and is now widely planted in various regions of the belt, distributed in Guangdong, Fujian, Shanghai and other places in China. It is a feminine plant, likes scattered light, and is more shade tolerant. It is alive when it encounters water, and is called the "flower of life" because of its tenacious vitality. The green foliage that spreads down symbolizes the spirit of perseverance. Pothos is also widely used in homes because it has a strong ability to absorb harmful gases and purifies the air.
Pothos is a tall vine with climbing stems and longitudinal grooves between the nodesMulti-branched, overhanging branches. Young branches whip-shaped, elongated, 3-4 mm thick, internodes 15-20 cm long;The petioles are 8-10 cm long, with sheaths on both sides reaching the apex;leather, persistent, the lower part is nearly 1 cm wide on each side, tapering upward;The lower leaves are large, 5-10 cm long, the upper ones 6-8 cm long, papery, broadly ovate, short acuminate, heart-shaped at the base, 6 cm wide5 cm. Hydroponic pothos, a unique plant that combines pothos with an aquatic environment. Its maintenance method is different from traditional soil cultivation and requires more careful care. Here, Peter will provide you with a comprehensive hydroponic pothos maintenance strategy, so that you can easily grasp the growth secrets of hydroponic pothos.
Maintenance tips for hydroponic pothos.
1.Hydroponic transplantation: Newly cut pothos will grow roots in about a week, and then hydroponics can be performed. Freshly cut pothos hydroponic farming just start 2-3 days to change the water.
2.Water quality selection: the water used in pothos cultivation is also very important, you can choose clean tap water or pure water to breed pothos, the correct choice of water quality, is very important for the cultivation of hydroponic pothos.
3.Nutrient solution selection: Hydroponic pothos will grow very slowly in the initial stage due to the change of the environment. The use of nutrient solution can promote the rapid growth of pothos, but before using the nutrient solution, it must be diluted with water, otherwise it is likely to cause local nutrient imbalance of pothos.
4.Change the water frequently: if you want to change the water frequently, you must pay attention to changing the water frequently, remember to change the water once in two to three days, because the pothos has high requirements for water quality, and after the pothos grows new roots, remember to add nutrient solution to the pothos, so that the leaves of the pothos can be more shiny.
5.Proper light: hydroponic pothos needs sufficient scattered light to stretch the leaves, the leaf color is green, it is best to place it in a place with enough scattered light, if the environment to prevent is too dark, you can move to a place with enough scattered light every ten days or so to receive a few hours of light, but also to maintain the gloss of the leaf color.
6.Proper spraying of water on the leaves: Pothos likes a warm and humid environment, so pay attention to the regular spraying of water on the leaves of pothos to increase humidity, in this way, it is very conducive to the growth of pothos, and it can also play a role in cleaning the leaves.
7.The root system should be washed frequently: for the roots of pothos, we need to clean the work every once in a while, and the root system is too long, so it should be cut short in time to avoid nutrient loss. If the root system is rotten and sticky, it needs to be cleaned in time, cut off the rotten roots, and soak and disinfect with potassium permanganate solution before resuming maintenance.
Through the above hydroponic pothos maintenance methods and tips, I believe you can easily cultivate healthy and strong hydroponic pothos plants. Regular water changes, fertilization, and pruning, as well as adequate light and the right growing environment, will allow hydroponic pothos to thrive in your home.
