How well do pothos tolerate sunlight?
As a commonly used home decoration flower, pothos is favored because of its peculiar leaves, drought tolerance, drought tolerance and other characteristics. However, we often encounter such a question in practical life: is pothos afraid of sunlight? That's what we're going to talk about now.
Pothos is a plant that grows in tropical forests, prefers mild and humidity, and does not require much light. In natural conditions, it generally prefers to be in dark, moist environments, such as tree trunks, stones, etc. Therefore, too strong direct sunlight is not conducive to the growth of pothos. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may have some adverse effects on its growth. Here are some things about the effects of sunlight exposure on green algae:
1.Yellowing of leaves: Under strong light exposure for a long time, the water inside the leaves volatilizes rapidly, causing the leaves to lose water and causing the leaves to turn yellow. At this time, it should be moved to a cool environment and should not be sunburned directly.
2.Leaf scorching: Sunlight exposure can also cause leaf scorching. This is due to the fact that the battery at the tip of the blade is more susceptible to heat and damage. Under light conditions, the moisture inside the leaves will evaporate rapidly, causing the leaves to dry up. To solve this problem, we can give it shade and let it be placed in a place where there is scattered light when the sun is very strong.
3.Restricted growth: Long-term exposure to strong light inhibition inhibites the photosynthesis of plants, and nutrients cannot be fully utilized, which limits the growth of plants. To ensure its healthy growth, it must be given the right light. Usually, pothos prefers to be in scattered places, with 2-4 hours of sunlight a day.
Pothos is a mild, moist plant, but it does not require much light. Long-term exposure to strong light will have an adverse effect on the growth and development of plants, so in daily life, plants should be given enough light, not direct irradiation, nor excessive exposure. Only in this way can pothos grow vigorously and give people unlimited vitality.
